Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV2 (PASC) infection is an emerging global health crisis, variably affecting millions worldwide. PASC has no established treatment. We describe 2 cases of PASC in response to opportune administration of over-the-counter antihistamines, with significant improvement in symptoms and ability to perform activities of daily living. Future studies are warranted to understand the potential role of histamine in the pathogenesis of PASC and explore the clinical benefits of antihistamines in the treatment of PASC.
新型冠状病毒2型(SARS-CoV2)感染的急性后遗症(PASC)是一场正在出现的全球健康危机,在全球范围内不同程度地影响着数百万人。PASC尚无既定的治疗方法。我们描述了2例PASC患者,通过适时使用非处方抗组胺药,症状得到显著改善,日常生活活动能力也有所提高。有必要开展进一步研究,以了解组胺在PASC发病机制中的潜在作用,并探索抗组胺药在治疗PASC方面的临床益处。
