ABSTRACT

After having suffered an acute infectious disease, a group of people suffer from very varied clinical manifestations, which can be transitory or permanent. Such is the case of COVID-19, in which a multitude of general symptoms and organs and systems have been reported, in a not inconsiderable number of people who have previously been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The World Health Organization issued on October 6, 2021 an official clinical definition of post-COVID-19 disease, agreed after a global consultation and published with the purpose of facilitating the treatment of the sick. Regarding this definition, comments are made about its implications for patients, health services and society in general.
