Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Coronavirus disease pandemic has been started in late 2019. Survivors of COVID-19 are significantly more likely to develop clinical sequelae three months after discharge from the hospital than those without COVID-19 infection. This is true not only for general and respiratory symptoms but also for cardiovascular and psychosocial symptoms. This suggests that these symptoms may indeed be the sequelae of recovery for COVID-19 survivors. So, we aimed to detect the prevalence and to evaluate the type of symptoms that could persist after the recovery from COVID19 infection in Sohag governorate, Egypt.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

About one hundred patients who were test positive for SARS-CoV2 and were improved and discharged from Sohag isolation hospitals and isolation department for COVID19 in Sohag University hospitals during the period from 15th May, 2020 to 25th July, 2020 will be included in our study. Patient improvement and discharge criteria include 10 day from symptoms onset in addition to 3 day free of fever and respiratory symptoms.

Patients with severe complex illness, pregnant or lactating females and patient who refuse to participate or give complete detailed history will be excluded from the study.

The study protocol will be approved by the scientific Research Ethical committee, Faculty of Medicine, Sohag University A control group of healthy volunteer who were age and sex matched to our patient were included

After taken informed consent according to Sohag University Ethical Committee, the baseline data will be collected from Sohag isolation hospital of COVID19, then the researchers will perform interviews with all participants through mobile phone. The interview will include:

* Name (Optional)
* Age
* Sex
* Occupation
* Presence of DM, HTN or any chronic illness
* Asking about Smoking

Statistical analysis:

Data will be analyzed using STATA version 14.2 (Statistical Software: Release 14.2 College Station, TX: Stata Corp LP).
