Quote from a 2022 paper:

"SARS-CoV-2 is not unique in its ability to cause post-acute sequelae; certain acute infections have long been associated with an unexplained chronic disability in a minority of patients."

This paper uses the term Post-Acute Infection Syndrome (PAIS). Another umbrella term I've heard is Infection Associated Chronic Conditions (IACC).
