People who get reinfected with the virus that causes COVID-19 have more health risks with each round of reinfection, a large national database study reveals.
July 7, 2022 –
The extra risks grew larger with each infection as well, says Topol, executive vice president of Scripps Research and editor-in-chief for Medscape, WebMD’s sister site for health care professionals. "It makes sense, and let me explain why,” Mokdad says. “When you have somebody who got COVID-19 the first time and was impacted by it, maybe someone who was older or who had a chronic condition, the next hit would also cause more damage."
He says a lot of people who get reinfected are testing positive at home. As a result, their cases don’t make it into research. In contrast, the veterans in the study were"people who for whatever reason wanted to get a formal test."
