Abstract
Millions of Americans affected by Long COVID (LC) report difficulty accessing care and support. One barrier is obtaining a diagnosis. In response, US federal agencies commissioned a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) committee to re-examine the existing federal definitions for LC. The Committee concluded that LC is "an infection-associated chronic condition (IACC) occurring after SARS-CoV-2 infection that is present for at least 3 months as a continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive disease state that can present as singular or multiple symptoms and/or diagnosable conditions." The full report was released in June 2024. We briefly highlight features and aspects of the definition that may help clinicians identify those who remain undiagnosed and improve care for all LC patients.
