Abstract

COVID-19 has impacted hundreds of millions of people globally, a relatively large proportion of whom continue to suffer from ongoing, sometime debilitating symptoms. This phenomenon, termed "long COVID," is difficult to diagnose and manage because of a paucity of objective findings and despite the abundance of descriptive data published so far. In this review, we aimed to describe the common manifestations of long COVID, diagnostic and management challenges, and address specific aspects in hematologic patients.

Keywords: COVID-19; Long COVID; Persistent symptoms; Rehabilitation.
