Abstract

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic became the greatest global public health crisis nowadays and currently there are no proven effective therapies. The virus has strong pathogenicity and infectivity and the most convincing way of transmission is through inhalation of the infectious aerosols. 80% of the patients who came to our clinic for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture for treatment in the last 6 months, came due to residual effects of the coronavirus infection. The aim of this study is to show statistically how many patients reported for post-coronavirus treatment in the clinic and due to which consequences and reasons came for treatment. In this research were chosen to be analyzed 21 patients, 6 male and 15 female, on age from 19 to 65, all treated for health consequences caused by covid19 infection in February, 2021. All patients are referred to the clinic within a week due to health problems left by coronavirus infection.According to the analyzed data, it can be concluded that all patients infected with coronavirus have health consequences that occupy the body for more than 6 months, regardless of whether the symptoms were mild, moderate or severe. Most patients had the infection in December 2020. Most of the patients had mild symptoms. The biggest problem after the infection is the body pain, exhaustion of the body, reduced energy and tiredness.
