SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in a global pandemic and an unprecedented public health crisis. Recent literature suggests the emergence of a novel syndrome known as 'long COVID', a term used to describe a diverse set of symptoms that persist after a minimum of 4 weeks from the onset of a diagnosed COVID-19 infection. Common symptoms include persistent breathlessness, fatigue and cough. Other symptoms reported include chest pain, palpitations, neurological and cognitive deficits, rashes, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. We present a complex case of a previously well 28-year-old woman who was diagnosed with COVID-19. After resolution of her acute symptoms, she continued to experience retrosternal discomfort, shortness of breath, poor memory and severe myalgia. Investigations yielded no significant findings. Given no alternative diagnosis, she was diagnosed with 'long COVID'.
SARS-CoV-2 引发了全球大流行和前所未有的公共卫生危机。最近的文献表明，出现了一种新的综合征，称为“长新冠”，用于描述一种从 COVID-19 感染确诊后至少 4 周持续存在的多种症状。常见症状包括持续的呼吸急促、疲劳和咳嗽。其他报告的症状包括胸痛、心悸、神经和认知缺陷、皮疹和胃肠道功能障碍。我们报告了一例先前健康的 28 岁女性的复杂病例，她被诊断患有 COVID-19。急性症状缓解后，她仍持续感到胸骨后不适、呼吸急促、记忆力差和严重的肌痛。检查未发现明显异常。由于没有其他诊断，她被诊断为“长新冠”。
