Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The SARS-CoV-2 infection has provoked an unprecedented worldwide crisis during the last years. Once the main outbreak has been controlled, clinicians and researchers are in front of a second crisis—the presence of long-lasting symptoms once the acute infection has been surpassed. An increasing number of studies and meta-analyses support the presence of more than 100 symptoms potentially attributed to COVID-19. There has been an advance in several aspects of this condition, called long-COVID or post-COVID-19, ranging from its definition, clinical diagnosis, and understanding of potential mechanisms to the identification of treatment strategies for its management. Due to the interest in the first two editions of this Special Issue, we are pleased to invite you to this Special Issue “Post-COVID Symptoms in Long-Haulers: Definition, Identification, Mechanisms and Management; 3rd Edition”.
This third part of the Special Issue wants to continue providing knowledge on the mechanisms behind post COVID-19 conditions and the identification of subgroups of patients to improve the management strategies of these patients. This Special Issue Part III wants to further focus on aspects of post-COVID symptoms, a topic of emerging relevance due to the expected presence of millions of “long-haulers”. We invite researchers/clinicians to submit clinical trials, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, meta-analyses, cohort studies, or case–control studies related to the identification or management of post-COVID symptoms to this Special Issue. As with previous issues, the topic of the article can cover any post-COVID symptom, not being restricted to anyone.
