Abstract

Assessing both post-COVID and long-COVID consequences is crucial because the COVID-19 epidemic has produced significant long-term care difficulties. The negative health effects of infection are examined in this review, which reveals effects on several physiological systems. Immune illnesses like Guillain-Barre syndrome and Kawasaki-like syndromes, haematological abnormalities involving haemostasis and coagulation, lung problems like respiratory failure and fibrosis, and cardiovascular conditions like myocardial damage are among the reported consequences. In addition to mental health issues, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, skeletomuscular, and neurological symptoms are frequently encountered. The article discusses possible molecular explanations for these effects, highlighting the fact that endothelial inflammation, microvascular thrombosis, and cytokine storms still contribute to multi-organ failure in COVID-19 survivors.
