Healthy young people who were not part of the covid-19 risk groups were left with sequelae of the disease and damage to several organs, four months after being infected, reveals a new British study.
Young people without adjacent health problems are, at the outset, less likely to develop complications associated with covid-19. But, suggests a new study by British researchers, they may still face long-term sequelae of the disease, especially in cases of the so-called “prolonged covid”, which occurs when a patient manifests symptoms several months after being infected.
Through a combination of magnetic resonances, blood tests, physical measurements and questionnaires to about 500 patients with an average age of 44 years and without other health problems, the study in question, quoted by the British “The Guardian”, aims to assess the long-term impact of covid-19 on the health of human organs in “low-risk” patients with continuous covid symptoms. Preliminary data for the first 200 patients reveal that almost 70% of individuals had sequelae in one or more organs, including heart, lungs, liver and pancreas, four months after they tested positive for the virus.
