Abstract

Post-COVID syndrome is a new condition, defined in the context of the 3-year long global COVID 19 pandemic. The syndrome itself presents with a wide range of non-specific complaints, most frequent of which are fatigue, shortness of breath and impaired cognitive functions. According to several studies, the incidence of postCOVID syndrome varies from 10% to 35% among non-hospitalized patients and up to 85% among hospitalized patients. The exact pathogenetic mechanisms, responsible for these prolonged neuropsychological manifestations of long COVID 19 are yet to be established but most authors assume that they are caused by chronic neuroinflammation.
The current literature review aims to offer a summary of the most frequently reported cognitive impairments in adults, suffering from post-COVID syndrome, thus outlining the possible clinical features of long-COVID and emphasizing its undeniable medico-social meaning. And given the progressively rising morbidity from this novel syndrome, a more precise description of these „cognitive difficulties” is required in order to formulate epidemiologically based health strategies and ensure early prevention, especially in patients in an active age.
