Long COVID is the collective term to denote persistence of symptoms in those who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
WE searched the pubmed and scopus databases for original articles and reviews. Based on the search result, in this review article we are analyzing various aspects of Long COVID.
Fatigue, cough, chest tightness, breathlessness, palpitations, myalgia and difficulty to focus are symptoms reported in long COVID. It could be related to organ damage, post viral syndrome, post-critical care syndrome and others. Clinical evaluation should focus on identifying the pathophysiology, followed by appropriate remedial measures. In people with symptoms suggestive of long COVID but without known history of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, serology may help confirm the diagnosis.
This review will helps the clinicians to manage various aspects of Long COVID.
长新冠是指从 SARS-CoV-2 感染中康复后仍持续存在症状的统称。
我们在 PubMed 和 Scopus 数据库中搜索了原始文章和综述。根据搜索结果，在这篇综述文章中，我们分析了长新冠的各个方面。
疲劳、咳嗽、胸闷、呼吸急促、心悸、肌肉疼痛和注意力不集中是长新冠报告的症状。它可能与器官损伤、病毒后综合征、重症监护后综合征等有关。临床评估应侧重于确定病理生理学，然后采取适当的补救措施。对于有长新冠症状但无已知 SARS-CoV-2 感染史的人，血清学检查可能有助于确诊。
本综述将帮助临床医生处理长新冠的各个方面。
