About “10 to 15% of patients” complain of persistent symptoms of fatigue and shortness of breath a month and a half after being infected with the coronavirus, according to the infectiologist Pierre Tattevin du
CHU de Rennes, president of the French-language infectious pathology society.
“It’s 10 to 15%, it’s not a majority at all. But it is striking because they were people who did not have a serious form at the start, “he explains. According to him, there would be no particular profile: “we have seen people who were very active before and who crossed their Covid rather well, who were sick for a week or two like everyone else, who even had the impression that it would heal as if it were a flu. But they realize that in the end it’s not going so well. They are often young people ”.

Symptoms that look “a bit like asthma, bronchial hyper-reactivity. They do not show inflammation from blood tests. It feels like it’s the tail end of the disease, it’s getting better and they won’t stay sick all their life. We learned to be careful with this virus, it surprised us several times. But there, we don’t have the impression that it will become chronic. “
