Brief Summary

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute infection of the respiratory tract that emerged in late 2019.

In several studies, the cardinal signs of COVID-19 associated fever, cough, sputum and dyspnea occurring in the first days of infection. In addition, myalgia was frequent (14.9-32.3%) and digestive signs which may be inaugural were also reported, such as diarrhea (3.8-5%) and nausea/vomiting (4-5%).

An increase in medical consultations for anosmia and ageusia without nasal obstruction has also been reported in the context of the COVID-19.

Mild or non-existent symptoms, but also serious forms leading to death or a long stay in intensive care, within a few months, the multiple clinical signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection were identified. But, beyond the acute symptoms, doctors and patients are discovering a whole range of disorders occurring more distantly, in hospitalized patients or not. In this context of an emerging viral infection such as SARS-CoV-2, many unknowns are still present such as the duration of symptoms or post-infectious sequelae in patients.

Detailed Description

The scientific and medical world is mobilizing to accelerate the production of knowledge on this virus, on the disease it causes as well as the means of curing and preventing it. But no one yet knows how much it can cause immunological changes in the body. For some specialists, this virus is even much more than a viral infection and causes a general disruption of the immune system.

Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers are a particularly exposed.

The main objective of this research is to assess the presence of symptoms attributed to COVID-19 at least 6 months after infection confirmed by RT-PCR test of healthcare workers.
