COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is no longer given much attention. Many laboratories no longer perform its laboratory diagnostics. This is due to the fact that subvariants of its currently dominant variant Omicron usually cause only a mild course of the disease in those affected or are asymptomatic. However, increasing concerns are being raised by syndromes appearing in affected individuals several weeks to months after overcoming the acute infection, which have a diverse picture, affect various organs and tissues and can last several weeks to months. These diseases were named post-covid syndrome (PCS) or also Long Covid or post covid condition (PCC). In our communication, we describe the course of the health condition of a man, born in 1950, since December 2019, focusing on the laboratory diagnostics of COVID-19, whose current health problems meet the diagnostic criteria for post-covid syndrome. Individual examinations were performed in several laboratories using the tests applied in these laboratories at the time of the investigation. In the discussion we then suggest how rationally performed laboratory diagnostics can contribute to the diagnosis and monitoring of such affected individuals.
