SARS-CoV-2 virus does not only affect the respiratory system. It may cause damage to many organ systems with long-term effects. The latest scientific reports inform that this virus leaves a long-term trace in the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems. It manifests itself in disturbances in the functioning of the organs of these systems, causing serious health problems. The aim of the study was to review the latest research into the long-term effects of COVID-19 and determine how common these symptoms are and who is most at risk. Based on a literature review using the electronic scientific databases of PubMed and Web of Science on the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, 88 studies were included in the analysis. The information contained in the analyzed literature shows that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause multi-organ damage, causing a number of long-term negative health complications.
There is evidence that the virus can cause long-term complications lasting more than six months. They mainly concern disturbances in the functioning of the nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems. However, these studies are small or short-lasting, and many are speculative.
SARS-CoV-2 病毒不仅会影响呼吸系统。它可能会对许多器官系统造成长期影响。最新的科学报告表明，这种病毒会在神经系统、循环系统、呼吸系统、泌尿系统和生殖系统中留下长期痕迹。它表现为这些系统器官功能紊乱，导致严重的健康问题。本研究旨在综述 COVID-19 长期影响的最新研究，确定这些症状的常见程度以及哪些人风险最高。通过使用 PubMed 和 Web of Science 的电子科学数据库对 SARS-CoV-2 感染的长期影响进行文献回顾，共纳入 88 项研究进行分析。分析文献中的信息表明，SARS-CoV-2 病毒可导致多器官损伤，引起一系列长期负面健康并发症。
有证据表明，病毒会导致持续时间超过六个月的长期并发症。它们主要涉及神经系统、循环系统和呼吸系统的功能紊乱。然而，这些研究规模较小或持续时间较短，且许多都是推测性的。
