SUMMARY:Understanding Long Covid
DESCRIPTION:Most people infected with SARS-CoV-2 recover quickly and comple
 tely. However, numerous patients continue to experience symptoms weeks or e
 ven months after the acute phase of infection. This phenomenon is often ref
 erred to as "Long Covid". It can include a wide range of symptoms such as c
 ognitive dysfunction, shortness of breath, heart problems, smell and taste 
 disorders, insomnia, fatigue or depression. The variety, diversity and seve
 rity of symptoms as well as the fact that they can come and go or relapse o
 ver time, make Long Covid a difficult condition to treat. In order to bette
 r understand the science behind Long Covid, a large number of studies have 
 been initiated at the national and international level.\n\nThe Leopoldina I
 nternational Virtual Panel (LIVP) will take into account the latest researc
 h on the causes and symptoms of Long Covid. From an evidence-based perspect
 ive, it will also discuss strategies to prevent long-term consequences of S
 ARS-CoV-2 infection and to treat and support patients with Long Covid.\n\nT
 he Leopoldina will welcome the following experts to the podium:\n\n 	Profes
 sor Michael Edelstein, MD, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Public H
 ealth, Bar-Ilan University, Safed, Israel 	Professor Akiko Iwasaki, PhD, St
 erling Professor of Immunobiology and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmenta
 l Biology, Yale University, New Haven, United States 	Professor Marc Lecuit
 , MD, PhD, Director of the Biology of Infection Unit, Institut Pasteur, Par
 is, France 	Professor Dr Carmen Scheibenbogen, Acting Director of the Insti
 tute of Medical Immunology, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany \n\
 nThis panel discussion will be moderated by Kai Kupferschmidt and is part o
 f the Leopoldina International Virtual Panel Series.\n\nIn July 2020, the L
 eopoldina launched a virtual format for global scientific exchange: Leopold
 ina International – a series of online panels organized by Leopoldina’s Int
 ernational Relations Department in cooperation with its international partn
 ers. Leopoldina International offers a virtual room for the global scientif
 ic community to convene and for the interested public to join the dialogue 
 with scientists. Previous topics addressed the COVID-19 pandemic from diffe
 rent angles, including vaccination, multimorbidity, mental health, data, an
 d contact tracing.\n\nFurther Information\n\nWatch the video (YouTube)\n\nE
