Abstract

Alle Artikel dieser Rubrik

Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat den öffentlichen Gesundheitssektor vor ungeahnte Herausforderungen gestellt. Doch während die gesellschaftliche Belastung durch die akute Erkrankung abzunehmen scheint, ebben die Berichte über Langzeitfolgen nicht ab. Mitunter am häufigsten berichtet werden neurologische Beschwerden wie anhaltende Erschöpfung und Kognitionsstörungen. Der wissenschaftliche Kenntnisstand entwickelt sich rasant und erste Therapieansätze zeichnen sich ab. Doch noch immer sind viele Fragen offen.

Schlüsselwörter
