Over ten percent of people infected with the COVID virus will
suffer with long COVID syndrome. Up until now, more than one
million people have been affected with this syndrome in the United
Kingdom alone, and the incidence worldwide is estimated to be more
than 35 million people, although this may be the tip of the
iceberg. The World Health Organization has highlighted a need for
the three Rs -- Recognition, Research and Rehabilitation. Long
COVID syndrome can be frustrating and disabling, even many months
or years after the infection; sufferers complain of fatigue, pain,
post-exertional malaise, cognitive dysfunction and many other
systemic symptoms. It can be challenging for healthcare
professionals to recognise the disease and for patients who are
suffering from the condition it can have a wide and far-reaching
impact on their lives and day-to-day activities. Being a relatively
new condition, many healthcare professionals, now more than ever,
need to have the requisite knowledge to recognise and manage this
severely debilitating disease. This book will be useful to all
frontline healthcare professionals to help diagnose, manage and
direct patients to the available resources. General practitioners,
physiotherapists, pain therapists, nurses, surgeons, physicians,
junior doctors, psychologists, medical students and other
clinicians will be able to update their knowledge on long COVID
syndrome with this easy-to-read book. Patients will also find the
book useful to understand the basis of the disease and how they can
seek help. This comprehensive treatise covers a wide variety of
topics on long COVID syndrome including the aetiopathogenesis,
recognition, systemic involvement, investigations, guidelines on
management, available resources, systemic management and
pain/fatigue management. This book will be handy for candidates
preparing for various examinations conducted by the Royal College
of General Practitioners, UK (MRCGP), Royal College of
Anaesthetists, UK (FRCA), Faculty of Pain Medicine, UK (FFPMRCA),

Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FANZCA), World Institute of Pain
