Post-COVID-19 Syndrome: What is Known in Children and Adults?

Abstract

Post-COVID-19 syndrome or long-term COVID-19 is a post-viral complication associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This phenomenon is determined by the persistence of symptoms for several weeks or months, which indicate a lack of recovery of the patient. Given the lack of large-scale clinical trials, there is no consensus on the characteristics of possible symptoms of post-COVID syndrome, but screening diagnostic methods have been established, a strategy for managing patients with COVID-19 has been developed based on the symptoms and needs of each patient. The literature describes possible complications after suffering COVID-19 in children and adult, as well as approaches to patient management. A multidisciplinary approach to the treatment and prophylaxis is of particular importance.
