The most common Covid symptoms have changed, study finds (syracuse.com)

What are the symptoms of Covid? The answer has changed after nearly three years in the coronavirus pandemic, largely depending on your vaccination status.

Sneezing is not a symptom, and shortness of breath and loss of taste/smell are rare. If you have any symptoms, stay home or wear a mask to avoid exposing others and get tested to determine the best course of treatment. Common cold symptoms include a mild cough, a stuffy nose, sneezing, a sore throat, aches, and a short fever period. Unvaccinated patients still experience more of the original Covid symptoms, though loss of smell and trouble breathing appear to be less prevalent with omicron cases. Chest tightness also occurs sometimes and sneezing is rare. Many of the symptoms of any viral infection can be similar, making it tough to tell the difference between Covid-19, influenza or a common cold without getting tested. For those who are fully vaccinated, a blocked nose is the third-most frequently reported symptom, researchers found. But the prevalence of each, as well as a fifth symptom, varies depending on how many vaccine doses you’ve had. Chan School of Public Health, King’s College London, Stanford University School of Medicine and the health app ZOE, published its findings last week showing the most common Covid symptoms. What are the symptoms of Covid? Chills and shortness of breath are not symptoms, and nausea, headaches and loss of taste/smell are rare. One of the big differences is shortness of breath and the loss of smell and taste for Covid, which are not likely experiences for the

[a study by ZOE Health](https://health-study.joinzoe.com/blog/covid-new-top-5-covid-symptoms), a health research app, researchers found that all three groups of participants — vaccinated, partially vaccinated and unvaccinated — all experienced four of the five most commonly reported symptoms: sore throat, runny nose, persistent cough and headache. The study suggests that these individuals were falling less ill and recovering faster than their peers. However, those symptoms are lower ranked.

Most Common COVID Symptoms Have Changed: Study. Here's Why ... (NBC Chicago)

Ranked in order of occurrence, here are the newest COVID symptoms reported after two COVID shots: Sore throat; Runny nose; Blocked nose; Persistent cough ...

Researchers concluded there may be a few reasons, such as the fact that those who have been vaccinated experience less severe symptoms, along with an increase in cases being reported by younger people. If you have been vaccinated and start sneezing often, it's suggested you get tested. In addition, with the most recent study, people who had been vaccinated and then tested positive for COVID-19 were more likely to report sneezing. In a March 2021 article, researchers said 69% of study participants reported one of three "core" symptoms - cough, fever or loss or change in smell. The difference, however, is that those who already had at least one COVID shot reported fewer symptoms over a shorter period of time. As revealed by a recent study, there may be a reason for that.

The most common COVID-19 symptoms have changed, a study says. People vaccinated and unvaccinated reported sore throat, cough, and more.

Additionally, each group reported one different COVID-19 symptom that made the top five. CDC research published in May found that about 1 in 5 adults may develop [at least one long COVID symptom](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article261780532.html) following an infection. These symptoms were headache, persistent cough, sore throat, and a runny nose. The study’s latest list published Oct. Through the app, participants self report their COVID-19 experience.

Bacterium in the Gut Could be a Biomarker to Predict the Severity of ... (Pharmacy Times)

Pharmacy Times is thrilled to welcome Sabine Hazan, MD, Founder and CEO of Progenabiome, which has trailblazed research looking at the gut microbiome and ...

There is something in the microbiome that basically shows that something is happening with these microbes and the relationship of these microbes with each other, which protects us. What we saw with severe patients (and what we saw with the non-severe patients, or the asymptomatic) is that their bifidobacteria was higher. Now when we looked at families—and that was the key to the paper that we published, like the most read paper at BMG gastro— when you see in the paper is that there are 20 patients that were high-risk and exposed to COVID-19. When those microbes were in the phylum actinobacteria, there was very little of those microbes in that phylum in which people that had severe COVID-19 [were in]. We were the lab that found COVID-19 in the stools—we published early on that we found COVID-19 in 8 patients and the virus was different. We saw the whole genome of the virus and the virus was different in everybody that we saw. Basically, that's what the microbiome is— the microbiome is an accumulation of microbes, that (when they are in balance) creates health, and when they are out of balance, creates disease. We once again ask the question, “Did bifidobacteria protect these people at the baseline in their colon from having severe COVID-19?” What we saw with the severe COVID-19 is that bifidobacteria levels were zero. What we noticed is a group of bacteria that is in a phylum, and a phylum is basically the accumulation of microbes that are similar. That is going to be the future—it is going to be a stool sample that is going to tell you whether you have something, or you're predisposed to something. When you look at this (and I hate to be graphic) but when you look at this log in the toilet, that's an accumulation of microbes. We see the damages that human papilloma virus (HPV) does with cervical cancer in women (or in men with penile cancer).

Stratifying the analysis by age groups demonstrated that a significant effect of FoL was present in all age groups but stronger in PwMS with younger age (≤ 35 years), whereas the effect of COVID-19-specific health anxiety remained only significant in PwMS aged 36–59 years (Table [3](/articles/s41598-022-22445-0#ref-CR3).

In addition, ~60% of the variance in the severity of the neuropsychiatric symptoms is explained by the cumulative effects of decreased SpO2 and increased PBT (thus, the severity of the acute infectious phase) coupled with increased CRP and OSTOX/ANTIOX ratio. [28](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR28), [31](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR31), [81](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR81), [112](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR112)]. [3](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#Tab3) shows that the BTO2ONS index was significantly correlated with CRP and with all clinical scores in the total study group and the restricted study group of Long COVID patients (except for cognitive disorders). [2](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#MOESM1) show the regressions of the somatic HAMA and FF scores, respectively, on the BTO2ONS index in Long COVID patients. [4](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#Tab4) and include the OSTOX, ANTIOX, OSTOX/ANTOX ratio, SpO2 and body temperature and the results are presented in Table [5](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#Tab5). [3](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#Tab3) shows the intercorrelation matrix of the OSTOX/ANTIOX ratio and SpO2, PBT, and clinical ratings in the total study group and Long COVID patients separately. To discover new endophenotype classes of Long COVID patients, we used a two-step cluster analysis with the diagnosis (Long COVID versus controls as a category) and the acute COVID-19 biomarkers SpO2 and body temperature and Long COVID biomarkers OSTOX, ANTIOX, OSTOX/ANTIOX and CRP as continuous variables. Both lowered SpO2 [ [26](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR26)] and increased PBT [ [27](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR27)] are indicants of the severity of the immune-inflammatory response of acute COVID-19, and both predict critical disease and mortality [ [27](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR27), [28](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR28)]. [55](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR55)]; (b) the HAMD to assess the severity of depression [ [53](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR53)]; and (c) the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) [ [56](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR56)] to assess the severity of anxiety. Thus, two HAMD subdomain scores were calculated: (a) depressive HAMD symptoms as the sum of sad mood + feelings of guilt + suicidal thoughts + loss of interest; and (b) somatic HAMD symptoms as the sum of somatic anxiety + GIS anxiety + genitourinary anxiety + hypochondriasis. In addition, in both the acute phase and Long COVID, a single latent vector could be derived from these somatic and affective symptoms, demonstrating that these symptom profiles are the expression of a shared core, namely the acute COVID-19 and Long COVID neuropsychiatric symptoms [ [25](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR25), [26](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR26)]. [11](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR11), [12](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR12)] to 87.4% of all infected patients [ [12](/articles/s41380-022-01836-9#ref-CR12)].

A fever seems to be the fifth symptom for those who are unvaccinated. However, the fifth symptom seems to be determined by a person’s vaccination status. Fully vaccinated individuals report also having a blocked nose, while those with only one dose say sneezing is their fifth symptom.
