Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Very interesting article. Congratulations.
Author Response
We are really glad that the reviewer appreciated our manuscript. Thanks very much
Reviewer 2 Report
Spinicci et al in the article `Infection with SARS-CoV-2 Variants is Associated with Different Long COVID Phenotypes` describe a statistical data from patients admitted to post-COVID outpatient service of Infectious and Tropical Diseases unit at Careggi University Hospital in Florence.
The article is well written and structurally organized and in an overall short but very effective way presented the data.
Tables and a figure are of a good quality. They also effectively show the comparison of different virus variants within a solid number of patients.
The only minor suggestion would be to add also some data from other hospitals in Italy from the same period, preferentially those that were very strongly hit.
Author Response
We are very grateful to the reviewer for their positive comments.
We included a sentence on the first report about persistent symptoms after acute COVID-19, published in July 2020, describing data from 143 Italian patients a mean of 60 days after COVID-19 hospitalization. (Carfì A, et al JAMA. 2020 Aug 11;324(6):603-605.)
