Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become into an unprecedented health crisis. One of the main problems associated with the virus is the appearance of mutations in its genome. The original strain (D614G) was extended worldwide in 2019. Later mutations emerged that gave rise to the so-called Variants of Concern (VOC): alpha, beta, gamma and delta. Methods: Cross-sectional study for the characterization of variants by multiplex RT-PCR. Longitudinal prospective study for the evaluation of symptoms and analytical biomarkers of patients admitted with COVID-19 for one year. Findings: A total of 296 patients admitted in January 2021 were included, 165 with the original strain, 60 with the alpha variant, and 8 with the beta variant (56 inconclusive results). The original strain was compared with the alpha variant, perceiving in the medium-term greater hair loss (p=0.053) and anosmia (p=0.067) and in the long-term worse general condition (p=0.038) and more fatigue (p=0.054) in the group with the original strain. Interpretation: The coexistence of at least three variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was confirmed during the ‘third wave’ of the pandemic. Medium-term and long-term persistent symptoms were more frequent in the group with the original strain.
