Unresolved symptoms in adult population after mild SARS-CoV2 infections

Abstract

Introduction. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the past year and a half has become a worldwide pandemic. COVID-19 symptoms, severity and duration vary widely, with an increasing number of cases of unresolved and prolonged symptoms. Objectives. This study aims to characterize unresolved symptoms of mild COVID-19 patients for a period of five months after disease onset, and potentially aid in disease management. Methods. Seventy-five adult patients were involved in the study in the period October 2020- March 2021 in Eurofarm Centre Private Healthcare. Inclusion criteria required patients to be aged ≥18 years, with positive SARS-CoV2 PCR test results and non-severe symptoms which did not require hospitalization. The onset, duration and resolution of symptoms were analysed.
