The longevity of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated continued discussion about the long-term impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Many who develop an acute COVID-19 infection will later face a constellation of enduring symptoms of varying severity, otherwise known as long COVID. As the pandemic reaches its inevitable endemicity, the long COVID patient population will undoubtedly grow and require improved recognition and management. The case presented describes the three-year arc of a previously healthy 26-year-old female medical student from initial infection and induction of long COVID symptomology to near-total remission of the disease. In doing so, the course of this unique post-viral illness and the trials and errors of myriad treatment options will be chronologized, thereby contributing to the continued demand for understanding this mystifying disease.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的持久性使得人们有必要继续讨论严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2感染的长期影响。许多感染COVID-19急性期的人随后将面临一系列严重程度各异的持续症状，也就是所谓的长期新冠。随着大流行不可避免地进入地方流行阶段，长期新冠患者群体无疑会增加，需要更好地识别和管理。本文介绍的病例描述了一名26岁健康的女医学生从最初感染、出现长期新冠症状到疾病几乎完全缓解的三年历程。这样做的话，这种独特的病毒后疾病的病程以及无数治疗方案的尝试与失误将按时间顺序记录下来，从而满足人们持续的需求，即了解这种令人困惑的疾病。
