The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immeasurable clinical, economic, and societal challenges for the world since early 2020. Intense focus has been placed on determining evidence-based acute management of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well as accelerating vaccination efforts for those eligible to receive it. As patients recover from infection, many are left with long-term symptoms, known as "Long COVID" or "Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID19," that challenges the ability to fully recover, return to baseline health status, and regain quality of life. As the most accessible healthcare professional, pharmacists can assist with the management of long COVID as a member of the multidisciplinary team. Pharmacists' medication acumen is beneficial to the management of long COVID symptomatology as more research comes to the forefront of this deadly disease.
自 2020 年初以来,COVID-19 大流行给全球带来了难以估量的临床、经济和社会挑战。人们高度关注确定感染 SARS-CoV-2 病毒患者的基于证据的急性管理方法,并加快为有资格接种疫苗的人接种疫苗。随着患者从感染中康复,许多人留下了长期症状,称为“长 COVID”或“COVID19 后急性后遗症”,这给他们完全康复、恢复到基线健康状态和恢复生活质量的能力带来了挑战。作为最容易接触到的医疗保健专业人员,药剂师可以作为多学科团队的一员,协助管理长 COVID。随着更多的研究成为这种致命疾病的前沿,药剂师在药物方面的专业知识有助于管理长 COVID 症状。
