Recurrence of symptoms after finishing treatment for COVID-19 with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid) has become increasingly recognized.- The biological underpinning of this phenomenon is unclear, and its etiology may be multifactorial, including rapid clearance of nirmatrelvir coupled with delayed immune responses or possible development of drug resistance.- The contribution of treatment to symptom rebound needs to be differentiated from symptom rebound that might occur during the natural history of COVID-19. In this cohort study, we sought to determine how often COVID-19 symptoms recurred when the disease was untreated.
