Overview
SARS-CoV2 pneumonia has been a global public health emergency since 2020. The prevalence of the disease is particularly high with more than 500 million cases worldwide (7.5 million in France) since the emergence of the virus.
A substantial proportion of patients with SARS-Cov2 infection present persistent symptoms long after the acute infection. This is independent of the degree of severity of the SARS-Cov2 infection.
These symptoms can affect the quality of life and impede the return to work. While the majority of symptoms progress favourably with outpatient care, some persist and/or are particularly severe, justifying expert and multidisciplinary care.
This investigation aim to create a clinical database of patients with complex and/or severe post-CoviD and study blood markers what could predict the disease and orientate new ways of treatment.
