Unprecedented worldwide health catastrophe due to the COVID-19 pandemic has ended up resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. Even though many people recover from acute infection, there is rising concern regarding post-COVID-19 conditions (PCCs), often referred to as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) or "long COVID." The respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and endocrine systems are just a few of the many organ systems that can be impacted by this multifarious, complicated illness. The clinical manifestations of long COVID can vary among individuals and may include fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, cognitive impairment, and new-onset diabetes, among others. Although the underlying processes of long COVID are not fully understood, they probably involve unregulated immune response, persistent generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (chronic inflammation), autoimmune-like reactions, persistent viral replication, and micro-clot formation. To create successful treatments and care plans, it is essential to comprehend the immunological mechanisms causing these difficulties. The pathogenesis of long COVID should be clarified and potential biomarkers to help with diagnosis and treatment should be sought after. To reduce the burden of long COVID on people and healthcare systems around the world, the need for long-term monitoring and management of long COVID problems should be emphasized. It also underscores the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. The goal of this review is to carefully evaluate the clinical signs and symptoms of long COVID, their underlying causes, and any potential immunological implications.
由于 COVID-19 大流行,全球范围内出现了前所未有的卫生灾难,导致高发病率和死亡率。尽管许多人从急性感染中康复,但人们越来越关注 COVID-19 后状况(PCC),通常称为 SARS-CoV-2 感染的急性后期后遗症(PASC)或“长新冠”。呼吸系统、心血管系统、神经系统和内分泌系统只是许多可能受到这种多系统、复杂疾病影响的器官系统中的几个。长新冠的临床表现因人而异,可能包括疲劳、呼吸困难、胸痛、认知障碍和新发糖尿病等。尽管长新冠的潜在机制尚未完全了解,但它们可能涉及不受调节的免疫反应、持续产生促炎细胞因子(慢性炎症)、自身免疫样反应、持续的病毒复制和微血栓形成。为了制定成功的治疗和护理计划,了解导致这些问题的免疫机制至关重要。应阐明长新冠的发病机制,并寻找有助于诊断和治疗的潜在生物标志物。为了减轻长新冠对全球人民和医疗系统的负担,应强调对长新冠问题进行长期监测和管理。这也突显了多学科方法对患者护理的重要性。本综述的目的是仔细评估长新冠的临床症状、其潜在原因以及任何潜在的免疫学意义。
