This article aims to describe the symptoms and clinical findings reported among patients with Long-COVID and discuss treatment options.

Long-COVID patients reported a number of findings including dyspnea, pneumonia, myocarditis, thyroiditis, increased complications of diabetes mellitus and neurological complications.
