Persistent and Prolonged Post-covid Sequelae in the Pandemia Era | Book Publisher International

 While the entire world is fighting the third wave of COVID-19, a significant number of patients who have recently been diagnosed with the virus are experiencing symptoms that linger for months after they have recovered, i.e. long-term COVID-19 symptoms.

SARS-CoV-2 is now known to be a multi-organ disease with a wide range of symptoms. There are increasing reports of persistent and extended sequelae after acute COVID-19, similar to post-acute viral symptoms observed in survivors of previous virulent coronavirus outbreaks. Now, the Scientific International Community has contributed to the designation of post-acute COVID-19, a syndrome marked by persistent symptoms and/or delayed or long-term problems more than four weeks after beginning of symptoms. We wanted to evaluate the current evidence on long-term symptoms in COVID-19 patients, therefore we conducted a systematic assessment of our own patient experience as well as studies on long-term COVID-19 symptoms.
