Long COVID syndrome – general aspects

Abstract

2020), growing scientific evidence worldwide suggests that a small percentage of people who have developed COVID-19 and healed after the initial infection may experience a series of persistent symptoms over a period of more than 12 weeks, such as marked fatigue, shortness of breath, confusion, diarrhea, or other symptoms that cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. This status has been called “long COVID syndrome” or ”post COVID syndrome”.
