Abstract

A COVID-19 é uma infecção respiratória aguda causada pelo Coronavírus-2 da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave (SARS-COV-2). Sua transmissibilidade, através do contato direto ou com gotículas de pessoas infectadas, permitiu-o se alastrar da China para o mundo, resultando em uma pandemia global com milhões de mortes. Dentre as vítimas infectadas que sobreviveram à patologia, há indivíduos que continuam manifestando sintomas remanescentes após a fase aguda, sendo tais sintomas concernentes à Síndrome Pós-COVID. Este estudo objetiva averiguar o conteúdo bibliográfico disponível acerca das manifestações da Síndrome pós-COVID. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, com buscas nas bases de dados PUBMED, SciELO e LILACS, utilizando os operadores booleanos: (LONG-COVID) OR (CHRONIC COVID SYNDROME) OR (LONG-HAUL COVID) OR (POST-ACUTE COVID-19 SYNDROME). Excluiu-se artigos que não se enquadravam na temática proposta, que estavam indisponíveis, que eram duplicatas ou que não fossem em língua inglesa, portuguesa ou espanhola. Foram encontrados 579 artigos e, desses, 20 estudos foram incluídos. Dentre os sintomas manifestados na Síndrome Pós-COVID, constata-se que fadiga, mialgia, dispneia, cefaleia, anosmia, ageusia e artralgia são os sintomas mais relatados pelos estudos. As inflamações no sistema nervoso acarretam sintomas como déficit de atenção, “brain fog”, desordem de memória e distúrbios do sono. Disfunções psicológicas estão presentes, tais quais depressão, anedonia, ansiedade, estresse pós-traumático, letargia e humor triste. Esses sintomas prejudicam a qualidade de vida do indivíduo ao dificultar a realização de atividades habituais. Enfatiza-se a necessidade de acompanhamento multiprofissional nos pacientes convalescentes da COVID-19, para mitigar suas complicações e sequelas.
