Abstract
We conducted a prospective cohort study in a population with diverse ethnic backgrounds from Brazil to assess clinically meaningful symptoms after surviving coronavirus disease. For most of the 175 patients in the study, clinically meaningful symptoms, including fatigue, dyspnea, cough, headache, and muscle weakness, persisted for >120 days after disease onset.
Keywords: Brazil; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; cohort; coronavirus disease; long COVID; post-COVID condition; post-acute COVID-19 syndrome; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; zoonoses.
