With the increasing cohort of COVID-19 survivors worldwide, we now realize the proportionate rise in post-COVID-19 syndrome. In this review article, we try to define, summarize, and classify this syndrome systematically. This would help clinicians to identify and manage this condition more efficiently. We propose a tool kit that might be useful in recording follow-up data of COVID-19 survivors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dr. Mahashur and Dr. Zarir Udwadia built a pulmonology service that has become synonymous with evidence-based ethical clinical practices, with a research track record that not too many private hospitals in the country can claim. The Indian Chest Society, which represents thousands of chest physicians across the country, and has become a leading force for pulmonary medicine in India, and across the world, was founded by Dr. Mahashur and his colleagues in 1981. I realize how incredibly challenging it is to be a physician, researcher, teacher, family man, and friend, and Dr. Mahashur was a rare embodiment of success in each of these roles.
