Although the public believes that the only problem with the coronavirus is to defeat it, they are apparently mistaken. In some recovered patients, persistent after-effects or symptoms also appear. American scientists also published a model according to which they predicted how many Slovaks will die from the coronavirus .
Dr. Shu-Yuan Xiao, a pathologist from the Medical University of Chicago, revealed that curing a patient of the coronavirus is not the only problem. Some recovered patients have long-lasting symptoms or after-effects following recovery from Covid-19. A large number of people infected with the coronavirus pass through Covid-19 with only mild symptoms and after recovery do not have any lasting consequences. However, another group of patients must end up hospitalized on mechanical ventilation. It is precisely these patients who remain at risk even after overcoming the virus.
After-effects
” It is difficult to predict in advance which 16 to 20 percent of symptomatic patients will require treatment in the Intensive Care Unit, he said. In patients on mechanical ventilation there is a greater likelihood that the lungs will be damaged up to the stage of acute respiratory distress syndrome. In some, according to ABCnews pulmonary fibrosis may develop and the original respiratory function may never recover.
He adds, however, that even in patients who experienced other respiratory illnesses requiring ventilation, consequences can persist for months or even years. According to DailyMail British scientists also reveal other dangerous persistent symptoms such as heart damage, even in patients who previously had no cardiovascular problems.
Other patients may suffer long-lasting loss of smell and taste, which causes frustration in their lives. Many also suffer from psychological problems such as anxiety or depression, which emerged as a result of the viral pandemic. Some professors assume that the coronavirus will also cause neurological diseases as a result of damage to nerves and tissues.
