Millions of people worldwide report having long COVID. The symptoms include lung damage, difficulty thinking and remembering, extreme tiredness, and other problems. Evidence suggests most people get better within a year. But recent data sh...
“If these findings can be generalized to the long COVID population, the study suggests that there may be a causative relationship between cognitive dysfunction and lung dysfunction, suggesting a potential treatment strategy using methods that target improved gas exchange,” senior researcherSean Fain, ...
A third of long COVID patients sustained damage to multiple organs five months after infection, a study has found. Scans of patients who were treated in hospital forCOVID-19showed higher rates of damage to the lungs, brain and kidneys compared with the non-COVID control group. Lung in...

A combined treatment strategy targeting SARS-CoV-2 symptoms and severe lung tissue injury is essential to minimize lung sequelae—chronic complications resulting from COVID-19 infection, according to a review published this week in Clinical Microbiology
In some long COVID patients, extensive organ damage (lung, heart and cardiovascular tissue) and the inability to fully repair these tissues may contribute to continued chronic disability. Interestingly, SARS-CoV-2 can alsoinduce auto-antibodies against G-protein coupled receptors, (GPCRs), which ...
18 As with the initial infection, pulmonary dysfunction during long COVID can lead to pulmonary fibrosis, lasting hypoxia, and permanent lung damage.22 Cardiac sequelae include chest pain, ongoing myocardial inflammation, right heart failure, decreased cardiac contractility, arrhythmias particularly ...
