Ms. ParaDP tooInteresting study about that recently.
(1) there is female predominance in the patients seeking care for LC (n=81 [75%]);
(2) women are more likely than men to have an elevated IL-6 (69% vs 28%);
(3) ongoing fatigue is the most common phenotype in women (n=58 [72%])
Of course, it's still far too early to call Ms. Wayward or babe's cases "long covid" (it's typically defined as having symptoms 3+ months post infection) but there does appear to be a gender bias for the lingering symptoms.
