Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) or more commonly known as Long COVID-19, is the term given to persistent symptoms 12 weeks from the initial presentation of COVID-19 infection. Several multi-organ symptoms have been reported by patients. Some common symptoms include headaches, fatigue, memory impairment and mental health complications such as anxiety and depression. People with previous psychiatric diagnosis are at greater risk of developing longer mental health implications from persistent COVID-19 symptoms. Additionally, healthcare workers are at increased risk of being long haulers leading to burnout and exhaustion. The objective of this review article is to provide comprehensive evidence from existing literature on various symptoms reported by patients experiencing Long COVID-19 and the rate of occurrence of such symptoms in different populations. A long-term disease surveillance is required to further understand the persistent symptoms or the long-term impact of this infection.
新冠病毒感染后急性后遗症（PASC），或更常见的名称是“长新冠”，是指自首次出现新冠病毒感染症状起12周后仍持续存在的症状。患者报告了多种多器官症状。一些常见症状包括头痛、疲劳、记忆障碍以及焦虑和抑郁等心理健康并发症。既往有精神疾病诊断的人因新冠病毒持续症状而出现更长期心理健康问题的风险更高。此外，医护人员成为长期感染者并导致职业倦怠和疲惫的风险增加。这篇综述文章的目的是提供现有文献中关于“长新冠”患者报告的各种症状以及这些症状在不同人群中的发生率的全面证据。需要进行长期疾病监测以进一步了解这种感染的持续症状或长期影响。
