El COVID-19 persistente, también conocido como síndrome post-COVID-19 o COVID-19 crónica, es un término utilizado para describir una serie de síntomas a largo plazo que aparecen como secuelas tras el padecimiento de la COVID-19. [...] se ha descrito como un cuadro clínico caracterizado por la persistencia de síntomas más allá de las cuatro semanas tras el comienzo de los síntomas agudos de la COVID-19 y que puede incluir síntomas propios de la enfermedad en su fase aguda, síntomas derivados de daños a diferentes órganos producidos por la enfermedad y efectos del tratamiento o la hospitalización por COVID-19. 5, record 1, Spanish, - COVID%2D19%20persistente

COVID-19 persistente; covid-19 persistente; Covid persistente; covid persistente: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que en español, la expresión apropiada es "persona (o enfermo, paciente [...]) con COVID-19 persistente", ya que lo que persiste es la enfermedad, no el paciente, como indican fuentes consultadas de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina. [...] Sin embargo, se consideran apropiadas las denominaciones en las que se utilizan otras variantes del nombre de la enfermedad: con "covid-19 persistente" o con "COVID/covid persistente". 2, record 1, Spanish, - COVID%2D19%20persistente
