Description
Walter Gomez-Gonzales and co-authors review what raises the risk of catching COVID-19 a second time in a 2023 paper. Reinfection with the virus behind the disease became a concern as new variants spread. The team gathered the published evidence up to August 2022 to sort which groups face the highest odds of a repeat infection.
They searched two major databases and reviewed thirty studies, many of them case-control or cohort designs. The pattern that emerged pointed to several groups: people not fully immunized when a new variant arrived, women, and people with chronic diseases. Age over sixty, a severe first illness, and a weak immune system also raised the odds. The authors call for more strong observational studies to firm up these findings.
