由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型(SARS-CoV-2)引起的新冠肺炎大流行对全球人口造成了严重影响，死亡率很高。本文回顾了以往流行和感染对健康的短期和长期影响的文献，以评估可能与新冠肺炎康复后相关的潜在健康并发症。过去关于疫情后和感染后恢复的研究表明，这种并发症包括严重疲劳的发展。感染的严重程度等某些因素，再加上许多新冠肺炎患者经历的细胞因子风暴，可能会导致后来的健康问题的发展。我们认为，在过去的流行病和感染中观察到的模式可能会在当前的新冠肺炎大流行中再次发生。
The COVID-19 pandemic, resulting from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has severely impacted the population worldwide with a great mortality rate. The current article reviews the literature on short- and long-term health consequences of prior epidemics and infections to assess potential health complications that may be associated with post-COVID-19 recovery. Past research on post-epidemic and post-infection recovery has suggested that such complications include the development of severe fatigue. Certain factors, such as the severity of infection, in addition to the 'cytokine storm' experienced by many COVID-19 patients, may contribute to the development of later health problems. We suggest that the patterns observed in past epidemics and infections may re-occur in the current COVID-19 pandemic.
