"Even individuals who did not become seriously ill with COVID-19 may have
developed a weakened immune system that could lead to serious illnesses in the
future. Research from örebro University suggests that the coronavirus might
have had more far-reaching effects than previously believed.

We were surprised that even people who did not have severe symptoms but
tested positive for COVID-19 appear to develop a weakened immune system and
a higher risk of, for example, glandular fever. It may also be that the
coronavirus further increases the risk of chronic fatigue."

— Snieguole Vingeliene, researcher in medicine and epidemiology at örebro
University

In the study, 10 million Swedes aged 3-100 were followed from 2020 to 2022.
They were grouped based on whether they had contracted coronavirus and the
severity of their infection. The results demonstrate a clear link between the
coronavirus and subsequent glandular fever. The study also suggests that the
coronavirus may worsen other illnesses.

Snieguole Vingeliene designed the study and conducted the statistical analysis
together with Scott Montgomery, professor of medicine, and Ayako Hoyoshi,
associate professor of medicine. All three conduct epidemiological research at
örebro University."
