ABSTRACT
Objective: To know which is the predominant symptom over time after recovery from
the SARS-CoV-2 infection at 2, 3 and 4 months, with the greatest repercussions on the
quality of life of patients.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional observational
study was done using the
Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) by means of a multiplechoice
survey distributed electronically (Google surveys) forms, from October 23 to
November 23, 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.
Results: One hundred fifty-eight patients were included with a positive PCR test for
SARS-CoV-2; 58, 46 and 54 patients were obtained in the respective range of 2, 3 and
4 months after infection by SARS-CoV-2. Taste and smell alterations were classified as
“maximum severity” in 3/58, 6/46 and 6/54 patients. The section of waking up tired
was classified as a “serious/severe” symptom in 7/58 and 10/46 patients for 2 and 3
months, respectively. The decrease in yield and productivity was referred to as “serious/
severe” in 9/54 patients at 4 months after infection.
Conclusions: The most predominant symptoms were taste and smell alterations
followed by waking up tired.
