What is a Post-Covid Syndrome?

Post-COVID Syndrome is the name of a condition where people who suffered from COVID-19 continue to experience health problems even after recovery from the coronavirus.

Most people who get COVID-19 recover from the illness after a few weeks, but some do not. A range of new or continuing symptoms with no explanation occurring even after 12 weeks of the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection is called a 'long COVID' or 'post-COVID' syndrome. The symptoms can last for months or even more than a year, impacting health and leading to post-intensive care and further treatments.

Long COVID cannot be detected with a single test, unlike the RT-PCR test for COVID-19. Post-COVID syndrome can be complex, multifactorial, and unique to each patient. Many symptoms of long COVID are inexplicable and easy to misunderstand, and it can lead to a loss of time and anxiety for the patient.

Long COVID patients require accurate diagnosis, which demands doctors have high skills, awareness, experience, and a correct understanding of the patient's medical history.
