1. Introduction Long COVID Syndrome, know as Long COVID, can be described as the persistence signs and symptoms that continue or develop for more than 4 weeks after acute COVID-19 infection (1). During clinical evaluation, differential diagnosis and the identification of associated pathologies unrelated to SARS-CoV-2 infection are essential (2). Manifestations of Long COVID occur in approximately 50%–80% of previously symptomatic patients with COVID-19 who have recovered (3).
