Title: Pandemic COVID-19 -

Abstract

The new viral pandemic has created many challenges for all health services in the 205 countries affected by the pandemic. This is the high mortality of patients, especially in the group of elderly people, this is rehabilitation and attempts to prevent a high probability of thrombosis in convalescents, this is the problem of rehabilitation in brain damage, these are attempts to create vaccine preparations of various architectures, and other problems. The author of the article owns a series of publications highlighting the features of the pathogenesis of a new disease: "COVID - 19" - "POSTCOVID SYNDROME", as well as a method of treatment and prevention of this disease based on the scientifically proven healing properties of Hirudo medicinalis (medical leeches). The editors of 5 scientific medical journals adopted the author's concept of the name of the disease - "COVID - 19" - "POST-COVID SYNDROME", which reflects the understanding that this is a single disease that has two phases: the first phase is an acute process that usually lasts 2-3 weeks - ("COVID - 19") and the next phase is the development of a chronic process - ("POSTCOVID SYNDROME"), which can last for 18-24 months. The report draws the attention of readers to the fact that such a definition of a new pandemic is important not only from a taxonomic point of view, but, above all, from a mental point of view, so it gives the doctor an understanding of the complexity of the course of the disease and requires monitoring patients during the entire specified period, for example, monitoring the dynamics of  D-dimers, prothrombin time, platelet count and the level of fibrinogen in the blood of convalescents. Now these are the most informative markers of the danger of thrombosis. The term "Long Covid" does not reflect the substance of the disease process. The report examines the mechanism of the disease "COVID-19" - "POSTCOVID SYNDROME". The most proven mechanisms of the pathogenesis of the disease and the most correct methods of treatment according to the literature data are investigated. In comparative terms, the advantage of the "System Method of Leeching" in comparison with the proposed methods of treatment is shown. The possibility of monotherapy with medical leeches (hirudotherapy) of this disease and recommendations for pregnant women at risk of the disease are shown.
