Prevalência de sintomas Pós-Covid: Revisão sistemática de literature

Covid-19 is a disease developed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) became aware of the infection of this virus in humans on December 31, 2019 in the city of Wuhan, People's Republic of China. It quickly spread around the world, which led the WHO to classify COVID-19 as an international health emergency and, later, to declare it a pandemic. The main characteristic of this pathology is an infection of the respiratory system, leading individuals to present dyspnea, reduced cardiorespiratory capacity, fatigue, among other symptoms. Numerous clinical manifestations have been observed after the period of acute illness, being called post-COVID-19 syndrome. Knowledge of these manifestations is important to improve the organization of patient care. Post-COVID-19 Syndrome refers to the symptoms that some people develop after being infected with the virus.

Some people also experience psychological effects. These symptoms may persist from the early stage of the illness or develop after recovery (WHO, 2021). The present study is a systematic, explanatory and descriptive literature review, which explored scientific works published between the years 2019 and 2022, in Portuguese and that present the proposed theme. Data were collected on the SciELO and PubMed platforms, using the following descriptors: COVID-19; Prevalence; Symptoms; Population survey. Finally, it was understood that the monitoring, assessment, rehabilitation, and periodic reassessment of post-COVID individuals, or those whose symptoms remain even after being considered cured of COVID-19, are necessary and essential to ensure the full return of the individual to their functions. quality labor and social.
