Abstract
Organ-specific sequelae after COVID-19 occur frequently and are highly diverse in their features. Sequelae and symptoms persisting for more than four weeks after COVID-19 define the condition "long COVID."Organ-specific sequelae of COVID-19 generally occur more often after severe disease. Yet, duration and intensity of organ-specific sequelae are highly variable. While pulmonary sequelae typically persist after more severe acute disease, COVID-19 sequelae may also develop weeks after infection and can affect any organ. The degree of SARS-CoV‑2 specificity of COVID-19 sequelae, however, remains unclear. Thus, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 sequelae represent an interdisciplinary challenge. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are guided by type, extent, and cause of the specific sequelae as targeted therapy options for long COVID are lacking.In the present work, we review current knowledge regarding the prevalence/incidence, duration, specificity, type, and extent of organ-specific COVID-19 sequelae and summarize current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies (as of November 2021).Entities:
