Advances in "long COVID" syndrome

ABSTRACT

SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly spread across the world and infected hundreds of billions of people worldwide. As our understanding of this disease continues to increase, the knowledge of the complications and sequelaes of this disease is also growing. For the time being, such complications and sequelaes are collectively termed as Long COVID. Similar to the acute infection stage of COVID-19, Long COVID is also heterogeneous. This review discusses various persistent complications and sequelaes observed in multiple organ systems caused by Long COVID, in order to increase people's attention to the Long COVID patients and enable them to obtain better quality of life.
