Abstract
"An authoritative medical reference on the various ways in which Long-COVID presents and an in-depth discussion of its mechanisms and therapeutic options. Unravelling Long-COVID aims to provide a better awareness and understanding of the persistent health problems that can arise following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Variously described as Long-COVID, Long-Haulers' Syndrome, and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, this newly designated disorder is estimated to have affected somewhere between 50 to 250 million people. It is in fact considered by many as the next global public health disaster. With such a broad and important topic, the authors of Unravelling Long-COVID have focused primarily on two major problems in the current understanding of Long-COVID: 1. the failure to distinguish patients with organ damage--here called Long-COVID Disease -- and those with unexplained, persistent symptoms--what is termed Long-COVID syndrome, 2.and the failure of current medical approaches to comprehend and treat those persistent unexplained symptoms"-- Provided by publisher.
