The Silent Syndrome of Long COVID and Gaps in Scientific Knowledge: A Narrative Review
2024
Rosilene da Silva | Antonio Carlos Rosário Vallinoto | Eduardo José Melo dos Santos
COVID-19 is still a major public health concern, mainly due to the persistence of symptoms or the appearance of new symptoms. To date, more than 200 symptoms of long COVID (LC) have been described. The present review describes and maps its relevant clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and genetic and nongenetic risk factors. Given the currently available evidence on LC, we demonstrate that there are still gaps and controversies in the diagnosis, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and detection of prognostic and predictive factors, as well as the role of the viral strain and vaccination.
