“…The screening of 204 studies revealed that only 13 case reports from 9 countries studied COVID-19 reinfection [80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92] . Most of the reported cases included patients presented with typical COVID-19 symptoms at the time of reinfection.…”

“…Most of the reported cases included patients presented with typical COVID-19 symptoms at the time of reinfection. At reinfection time, eight patients presented with mild COVID-19 symptoms 81,83,84,86,[88][89][90] , two patients presented with moderate COVID-19 symptoms 85,91 , and four patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms 80,82,87,89 . However, one patient was asymptomatic at the time of the supposed reinfection 92 .…”

Objectives: To determine post-COVID-19 complications after recovery and investigate the reported cases of re-infection. Methods: The researchers systematically reviewed three databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Word Health Organization (WHO) COVID-19 database looking for studies reported post-COVID-19 complications and COVID-19 reinfection. The search was conducted between November 21, 2020 and January 14, 2021. Inclusion criteria were articles written in English and had primary data. The studies reported the complications of COVID-19 after full recovery were included. Case reports were only included in the COVID-19 reinfection section. Results: The review included 69 studies related to post-COVID-19 complications and 13 case studies related to COVID-19 reinfection. Thirty-six studies reported post-cure respiratory complications including dyspnea to residual pulmonary fibrosis. Cardiac symptoms were reported in nine studies including palpitation, chest pain and diastolic dysfunction. Neurological complications included post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), anxiety, depression, memory issues, insomnia and sleeping disturbance, cognitive impairments, and stigma. Gastrointestinal symptoms included nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and acute liver injury. Physical decline was the most common symptom reported in the musculoskeletal complications. Thirteen cases COVID-19 reinfection from nine countries were reported. Four patients had severe symptoms in the second infection while the symptoms of nine patient ranged from mild to moderate. The time taken for the reinfection ranged from 26 days to 145 days. Conclusion: COVID-19 may cause several types of complications after recovery. Lung abnormalities, neurological complications, and exercise intolerance were frequently identified complications among COVID-19 survivors. Reinfection can occur among COVID-19 survivors. Thus, COVID-19 may need long-term follow-up and should take preventive measures to prevent the reinfection.

Background: The corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) or corona pandemic is an outgoing pandemic caused by coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. It was first identified in Wuhan, China, and the first COVID-19 case in Bangladesh was on March 7, 2020. A retrospective research was conducted on Brahmanbaria Medical College with COVID-19-suspected patients to understand the current situation of COVID-19 in Brahmanbaria. Methods: A total 752 oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected from COVID-19 suspected patients and reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction test was run to identify the positive cases. Results: We found 28.5% (n = 214) of positive cases among which 22.9% (n = 49) were diabetes mellitus patients and 20.5% (n = 46) were hypertension patients too. Conclusion: A total of 214 (28.5%) COVID-19 positive confirmed cases among 752 COVID-19-suspected peoples were found. The most common age group of COVID-19 patients was between 31 and 40 years, which is a matter of great concern as these patients develop different postcorona syndromes such as weakness, breathlessness, and muscles pains and cannot go back to their normal daily life as before.
