Rheumatological manifestations of post-COVID syndrome (literature review)

Abstract

To date, the main resonance is caused by studies of the so-called post-COVID syndrome, which can occur even in patients who have had mild or moderate COVID-19. The present review provides a historical background on the origin of this term, considers the most common rheumatological manifestations of post-COVID syndrome, including arthralgia, rash, perniosis, dyspnea, fatigue, fibromyalgia, the formation of autoantibodies and markers of systemic inflammation. The review also provides current views on the treatment of post-COVID syndrome. The authors emphasize the need for differential diagnosis between rheumatological manifestations of post-COVID syndrome and the onset of rheumatic disease after COVID-19, and substantiate a multidisciplinary approach to therapy methods.
