Hello, wonderful people of this community. What's up? Hope that all are under control. I am fine and healthy and alive, Alhamdulillah. It is my 76th participation for the #iamalivechallenge contest. In this post, I have talked about PASC. The Long-COVID has a new name now; PASC. **PASC** stand for **P**ost **A**cute **S**equelae of SARS-**C**oV-2. Dr Anthony Fauci has introduced this new acronym.
_this image is made with Add Text android app_ PASC (formerly known as Long-COVID) consists of a group of symptoms that are found in some COVID19 recovered patients. As the symptoms last for an unusually long period among them, it is (was) called Long-COVID, which is now given a new name, PASC. Those who are having PASC, are called Long haulers. The most common symptoms of PASC are: * Fatigue * Brain fog * Sleep abnormalities * Gastrointestinal symptoms * Psychological issues * Loss of smell See! Almost all systems of our body can be affected. Because COVID19 is a multi-system disease. The symptoms of PASC are the symptoms that are found after clearing the virus from the body. Several acute symptoms which were found during the acute illness may persist or a new symptom may appear following the illness period. The severity of these symptoms may vary from person to person; from mild to debilitating condition. Children aren't free of these symptoms. According to a new study done on children age less than 18 years, more than 50% of them had at least symptoms that lasted over 4 months following the clearing of the virus. A little over 20% of them (22.5%) had 3 or more symptoms. Source: [Medscape](https://reference.medscape.com/viewarticle/947023)
