Abstract
Abstract The majority of the SARS-CoV-2 infected patients fully recover within a few weeks. However, a significant proportion of them, independently of their age, still have multi-organ damage, similar to that during the acute phase of infection, or symptoms for a longer term afte r recovery. “Postacute-COVID-19 (Long COVID-19 Syndrome)” is a term used for COVID-19 patients who are still symptomatic 4 and 12 weeks after the onset of acute symptoms and “Post-COVID-19-syndrome” ‒ for those with symptoms for longer than 12 weeks after the onset of acute symptoms. The severity of the initial infection does not correlate with the probability for and with the severity of long-term symptoms. This review comments on the multiorgan effects of Long COVID-19 Syndrome: respiratory, cardiovascular, hematological, renal, gastrointestinal, neurological, and metabolic ones. Recommendations for follow-up and rehabilitation for the recovery of Long COVID-19 Syndrome patients are discussed in detail.
期刊介绍：
About 30 years ago - in 1973, on the initiative of the Publishing House „Medicine and Physical Culture", namely its former director Mr. Traian Ivanov, the Ministry of Health set up and accepted to subsidize a new medical magazine that was to be published only in the English language and had to reflect the status and the achievements of the Bulgarian medical science. Thus the language barrier was overcome and stable relations were established with the international medical society, large libraries, and university centers. The famous internationally known scientist professor Assen A. Hadjiolov was elected edition-in-chief by the first editorial staff and the magazine was named Acta Medica Bulgarica.
