“Genesen” is in many German corona statistics in the case number tables. But does that mean fit again? The German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP) has doubts about this. Images from the computer tomograph showed that many patients had more or less severe lung damage, it is said.
“It is suspected that there may be late effects,” says Blum. “Especially in the area of the lungs.” It is not just about Covid 19 patients who have been on ventilators for a long time. “We know that there can be scars in the area of the lungs.” Essential questions particularly concern the lighter cases. People who didn’t have to go to the hospital. “This new coronavirus may also trigger long-term or even permanent consequential damage in the lungs,” says Blum.
