Abstract
Objective: To perform a literature review on Post COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS). Bibliographic review: PCS is a term used in the literature to designate debilitating and persistent physical and psychological signs and symptoms, beyond the usual time, presented by patients who are already in the recovery phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Some risk factors for this syndrome are: advanced age, presence of comorbidities, female gender and hospitalization. Among the clinical manifestations of long COVID-19, we can mention: fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Furthermore, complications resulting from PCS, such as pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis and pulmonary embolism, are also reported. About the prognosis of this syndrome, published data point to a good overall evolution of patients, with symptomatic relief. Final considerations: The PCS is a multisystemic syndrome that can arise in patients recovering from COVID-19 and negatively impact their quality of life. Therefore, it is important to know the disease, its signs, diagnosis, treatments and prognosis.
