• Abstract:

  Introduction: Coronaviruses belong to a large family of viruses that have a single strand of single RNA. SARS-CoV-2 has high lethality and morbidity rates, which is the cause of one of the biggest pandemics in history, responsible for several acute and chronic symptoms, such as Post-Covid Syndrome (PCS). Objectives: To analyze the main sequelae resulting from the Covid-19 infection, as well as the impact on the quality of life and well-being of patients, evaluating the main forms of follow-up and/or rehabilitation for the population affected by the post-covid-19 syndrome. Methods: The research carried out for the formulation of this work consists of a systematic review of a descriptive and exploratory nature about publications regarding the post-covid syndrome 19. The selection of articles was carried out through databases on the internet, being they: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Science Information (LILACS), Google Scholar search engine and Pubmed. Results: During the search, 20 articles were found through the proposed databases, but after applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria, only 14 articles were selected that corresponded to the proposed objective. Conclusion: PCS is still something new and little understood, despite the number of articles already published. The propagation of its existence is necessary for a better understanding of the population about such comorbidity, thus being recognized and treated accordingly.
