The median interval (‫ע‬SD) between the onset of SARS symptoms and the first follow-up visit was weeks. Symptoms reported at the first followup visit included palpitation (45.1% of patients), exertional dyspnea (41.9%), malaise (40.3%), easy forgetfulness (30.6%), chest discomfort (22.5%), hand tremor (21%), dizziness (17.7%), depression (16.1%), myalgia (12.9%), headache (9.6%), diarrhoea (8.1%), cough (8.1%), insomnia (6.5%), and hair loss over the scalp (3.2%). Laboratory findings included the following mean values (‫ע‬SD): hemoglobin of patients.
