Although cases are decreasing week by week, micron an continues to cause a significant number of cases and deaths globally. In the last 7 days, for the variant identified in South Africa They registered 11.6 million infections and 63,064 deaths in the world, according to the statistics site Worldometers. In Argentina, meanwhile, This Thursday, 10,298 new positives and 97 deaths were reported.
The most of the people who get Covid-19 recovers completely in a few weeks. However, in some cases, even those who have had mild versions of the diseasecontinue to present symptoms after your initial recovery.

WHAT IS PROLONGED COVID
Sometimes these people describe themselves as people with persistent COVID-19and the conditions are called post-COVID-19 syndrome or prolonged COVID.
Common signs and symptoms that persist over time include: fatiguelack of air or difficulty breathe, tos, Joint painchest pain, trouble memoryfrom concentration the stop to sleepmuscle pain or headache, fast heartbeat or palpitationsloss of smell or of likeamong other conditions.
“Estimates vary on how frequent the prolonged covidbut about a quarter of people with Covid-19 have persistent symptoms 4 to 5 weeks after testing positive, with around 1 in 10 experiencing symptoms after 12 weeks“says a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and of European Observatory of Health Systems and Policies.

THE POSSIBLE cause of Prolonged COViD
The aging of cells in the human bodywill explain the lingering side effects ofCOVID-19. It was discovered by researchers from a team led by Eiji Haraprofessor of biology at Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, Osaka University, Japan.
The conclusion was confirmed through animal experiments where it was recorded that cells affected by COVID-19 They help spread inflammation.
How do patients complain? fatigue frequency, Headaches, hair loss and other symptoms after the virus disappears, the team concluded that the inflammatory mechanism could be the reason.
Likewise, the researchers evaluated a process known as low cell senescence which the damaged cells stop proliferating simply as a survival mechanism, which in turn causes them to disperse around inflammatory substances. It is known that the fenmeno conduce al cncer, the arterial sclerosis and others disorders associated with old age.
What tests need to be done
“The basic complementary exams that we usually request are: complete exams from usual laboratory (blood count, blood glucose, urea, hepatogram, etc.), complete urine, to which a D-dimer can be added, which is a marker of early thrombosis that can serve to realize if the patient has some type of complication”, explained the clinical doctor Diego Bares to TN.
Likewise, it also confirmed that se them ask for one chest x-ray, chest x-ray (front and profile), an electrocardiogram, an ergometry and an echocardiogram. “Depending on the clinical context While the patient is present, one can add other studies such as spirometry and respiratory function studies (such as a CT scan). trax, brain resonance, among others). The doctor will define this dynamically, depending on the patient’s clinical context“.
