Assessment and management of prolonged symptoms of COVID-19.
Introdução
Apesar de inicialmente ter sido considerada uma infecção aguda do sistema respiratório,
atualmente sabe-se do comprometimento multissistêmico e protraído da COVID-19 em alguns indivíduos [1].

Essa condição tem sido chamada de COVID “longa”, “pós-aguda” ou
“síndrome pós-COVID-19”. Entre os pacientes que necessitam internação, especialmente em UTI, estes sintomas residuais podem ser muito mais frequentes: mais que 80% dos pacientes reportaram ao menos 1 sintoma após 60 dias do início do quadro.
