Resumen
GALLEGOS, Miguel et al. What is post-COVID-19 syndrome? Definition and update. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2022, vol.158, n.6, pp.451-455. Epub 20-Ene-2023. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.22000144.
This work addresses the origin and development of post-COVID-19 syndrome, which consists of the persistence of different symptoms over time as a consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on a narrative review of the scientific literature, a brief analysis of the new term is made, specifying the conceptual definition, characteristic symptoms, the various implications for people’s health, and the responses to specific care measures that have been implemented. It concludes with a wake-up call to the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean in order for care and surveillance to be provided to this public health problem.
