Symptoms Of Post-COVID-19 Syndrome (Long-COVID) And Rehabilitation Possibilities

The document discusses the post-COVID-19 syndrome, also known as long-COVID, which presents long-term health complications following a COVID-19 infection. It identifies two stages within the post-acute COVID-19 syndrome: the subacute stage lasting 4-12 weeks post-infection and the post-COVID-19 syndrome with symptoms persisting beyond 12 weeks. The syndrome affects multiple organ systems, and its management involves symptom treatment and multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Vaccination against COVID-19 is highlighted as a crucial tool in mitigating the pandemic and has been shown to be protective against prolonged COVID symptoms. The study reviews literature on COVID-19 symptoms, epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, the impact of post-COVID-19 syndrome on various organ systems, rehabilitation possibilities, and the effect of vaccines on symptom development.
