Considering the compelling amount of studies focused on patients in the active phase of COVID-19 disease and the scarcity of studies focused on patient cured from disease aimed at evaluating the sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the purpose of the study is to investigate whether in patients recovered from COVID-19 disease, SARS-CoV-2 infection has induced: 1) endocrine-metabolic function damage; 2) neuro-psychiatric damage; 3) muscle damage; 4) pulmonary damage; 5) cardiological damage; 6) venous vascular damage; 7) dermatological damage. Patients will be evaluated at baseline (at discharge from infectious and/or pneumology unit) and after 3- 12 months. A better definition of the prevalence and type of sequelae after recovery from COVID-19 disease could significantly improve the therapeutic management and long-term follow-up of these patients, with a relevant impact in terms of health resources and public health.
