Abstract
Objective: The aim is to consider Long COVID not as a new clinical entity but as another example of a disabling, historical phenomenon. Conclusions: A triad of polymorphic symptomatology, an elusive pathophysiological explanation and a hostile defensiveness has appeared throughout history. The reluctance to consider these contextually may delay early intervention and appropriate patient care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
