Resumen
Antecedentes: : El brote de la enfermedad por covid-19 en el mes de diciembre
2019 causado por el virus del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo tipo 2 fue
declarado el 11 de marzo del 2020 por la organización mundial de la salud como
una pandemia alentando a todos los países a tomar las medidas de bioseguridad
pertinentes y no bajar la guardia según estudios realizados el virus afecta
principalmente a los adultos mayores y aquellos con enfermedades como
hipertensión diabetes enfermedades cardiovasculares y cáncer. De igual forma con
el progreso de la pandemia la evidencia clínica muestra un aspecto de síntomas y
complicaciones de las personas recuperadas del covid-19 como es el síndrome de
fatiga crónica qué se caracteriza principalmente por una sensación general de
cansancio o agotamiento especialmente asociado con algunas infecciones virales
sin embargo en los pacientes afectados por el covid-19 este cansancio puede
alternar las funcionalidades y persistir durante semanas.
Existen múltiples causas para esta condición. Entre ellas se distinguen las
situaciones post infecciosas, especialmente cuando la infección es viral. “Esto está
descrito desde hace mucho tiempo, pero como ahora estamos viviendo una
situación de pandemia en que hay una infección predominante que es el Covid-19,
obviamente lo estamos viendo mucho más”, explica la doctora Segovia. Asimismo,
manifiesta que para entender de qué se trata, es importante recordar el término de
convalecencia. “Cuando uno está convaleciente no tiene el agente infeccioso en su
cuerpo, pero uno aún no está sano del todo, es como si todavía estuviera en fase
de recuperación. Cuando hablamos de este síndrome de fatiga post Covid- 19, en
el fondo, es como decir que uno no sale de la convalecencia”, dice que actualmente
no hay claridad de por qué ocurre esto, pero se postula que hay una especie de
inflamación bioquímica a nivel cerebral
Background: The outbreak of Covid-19 disease in December 2019 caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Type 2 virus was declared on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic encouraging all countries to take appropriate biosecurity measures and not to let their guard down according to studies carried out the virus mainly affects older adults and those with diseases such as hypertension diabetes cardiovascular disease and cancer. Similarly with the progress of the pandemic, clinical evidence shows an aspect of symptoms and complications in people recovered from covid-19, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, which is mainly characterized by a general feeling of tiredness or exhaustion especially associated with some viral infections. However, in patients affected by covid-19, this fatigue may alternate functionalities and persist. forweeks. There are multiple causes for this condition. These include post-infectious situations, especially when the infection is viral. “This has been described for a long time, but since we are now experiencing a pandemic situation in which there is a predominant infection that is Covid-19, we are obviously seeing it much more”, explains Dr. Segovia. In order to understand what this is all about, it is important to remember the term convalescence. “When you are convalescing you do not have the infectious agent in your body, but you are not yet completely healthy, it is as if you are still recovering. When we talk about this post-Covid-19 fatigue syndrome, basically, it’s like saying that you don’t get out of convalescence”, he says that there is currently no clarity as to why this happens, but it is postulated that there is a kind of biochemical inflammation in the brain.
