Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
SARS-CoV-2 caused a post-outbreak pandemic. “Long-haulers” are individuals who recover from SARS-CoV-2 acute infection but develop post-COVID symptoms. An increasing amount of evidence in the literature supports the presence of several post-COVID symptoms after the acute phase of COVID-19. In the past year, some advancements in the definition, identification, timeframe, mechanisms, and treatment strategies for the management of post-COVID symptoms have been made. Due to the interest that the first part of the Special Issue elicited, we are pleased to invite you to contribute submissions to this Special Issue, entitled “Post-COVID Symptoms in Long-Haulers: Definition, Identification, Mechanisms, and Management—Part II”.
This second part of the Special Issue aims to increase our level of knowledge regarding the mechanisms behind post COVID-19 symptomatology and the identification of subgroups of patients to improve management strategies for this group of patients.
This Special Issue will focus on all aspects of post-COVID symptoms, a topic of increasing 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, and case–control studies related to the identification or management of post-COVID symptoms to this Special Issue. The articles can cover any post-COVID symptoms. Particular attention will be paid to the role of vaccines in post-COVID symptoms and other factors emerging in the last year, such as different SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.
