An authoritative medical reference on the various ways in which Long-COVID presents and an in-depth discussion of its mechanisms and therapeutic options.

Unravelling Long-COVID aims to provide a better awareness and understanding of the persistent health problems that can arise following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Variously described as Long-COVID, Long-Haulers' Syndrome, and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, this newly-designated disorder is estimated to have affected somewhere between 50 to 250 million people. It is in fact considered by many as the next global public health disaster.

With such a broad and important topic, the authors of Unravelling Long-COVID have focused primarily on two major problems in the current understanding of Long-COVID: 1.) the failure to distinguish patients with organ damage--here called Long-COVID Disease - and those with unexplained, persistent symptoms--what is termed Long-COVID syndrome, 2.) and the failure of current medical approaches to comprehend and treat those persistent unexplained symptoms

Unravelling Long-COVID is:
* One of the first books focused specifically on defining and understanding Long-COVID with the goal of establishing optimal management
* A unique reference to distinguish patients with organ damage caused by Long-COVID disease from those with unexplained, persistent symptoms that manifest as Long-COVID syndrome
* An in-depth exploration of neuroimmune pathways to help clarify the previously unexplained symptoms of Long-COVID

Unravelling Long-COVID is an essential reference for anyone interested in Long-COVID and the impact that this condition has had on the population. It will be a useful resource for the growing number of Long-COVID clinics that have been established across the US, the UK, and other countries.
