Background: Studies exploring long COVID (LC) in low and middle-income countries are lacking. This study described the characteristics of people with persistent COVID-19 symptoms and their associated healthcare use in Latin America (LA). Methods: This descriptive study used data collected between Nov 1-Dec 1, 22, with an electronic survey. Individuals who resided in a LA country, had COVID-19 or cared for someone who had COVID-19, and could read, write, and comprehend Spanish were invited to participate. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, vaccination status, COVID-19 and LC symptoms and healthcare use were gathered. Results: Data from 2466 people from 16 countries in LA who had COVID-19 was analyzed (females = 65.9%; mean age of 39.5 ± 53.3 years). 1178 (48%) of the responders had LC symptoms (>=3 months). Respondents with LC were more likely to have COVID-19 earlier in the pandemic, were significantly older, had no COVID vaccines, had more comorbidities, needed supplemental oxygen and reported significantly more COVID-19 symptoms during the infectious period. 33% of the LC responders visited a primary care provider, 13% went to the emergency department, 5% were hospitalized, 21% visited a specialist, and 32% consulted ?1 therapist for LC symptoms, mainly due to extreme fatigue, sleep difficulties, headaches, muscle or joint pain, and shortness of breath with activity. The most consulted therapists were respiratory therapists (15%) and psychologists (14%), followed by physiotherapists (13%), occupational therapists (3%), and speech pathologists (1%). Conclusions: Our results supported previous findings in terms of the demographics of people with LC and provided insight into the healthcare services commonly used by this group of patients in LA.
