Abstract (English): The definition of quaternary prevention as the set of interventions that avoids or mitigates the consequences of unnecessary or excessive activity of medical interventionism and the health system. The definition of a new disease is a complex process that involves the identification, characterization and description of a medical condition that has not been previously recognized or documented. Since mid-2020, the term chronic COVID/long COVID has been used to describe the presence of signs and symptoms after an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, with multiple terminologies and definitions in international literature. Post-infectious syndromes, myalgia encephalomyelitis and fibromyalgia, are some of the diseases that have similarities with chronic COVID. This article presents an analysis relating the concepts of new disease and quaternary prevention with chronic COVID and other diseases described in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Se define prevención cuaternaria como el conjunto de intervenciones que evita o atenúa las consecuencias de la actividad innecesaria o excesiva del intervencionismo médico y del sistema sanitario. La definición de una nueva enfermedad es un proceso complejo que involucra la identificación, caracterización y descripción de un cuadro clínico que no ha sido previamente reconocida o documentada. Desde mediados del año 2020 se utiliza el término COVID crónico/long COVID para describir la presencia de signos y síntomas luego de una infección aguda por SARS-CoV-2, con múltiples terminologías y definiciones en la literatura internacional. Los síndromes posinfecciosos, la encefalomielitis mialgia y la fibromialgia, son algunas de las enfermedades que tienen similitudes con el COVID crónico. En este artículo se presenta un análisis relacionando los conceptos de nueva enfermedad y prevención cuaternaria con el COVID crónico y otras enfermedades descritas en la literatura.
