Coronavius, doctors warn long - term effects on the organism

The long - term consequences that the coronavirus can cause in the organism remain unclear. Recent information from some experienced doctors in Italy raised concerns that the consequences from the pandemic may be many times greater than originally thought. Doctors and patients from one of the most affected cities in Europe relate their experience.

According to some experienced doctors in the Italian city of Bergamo, a significant percentage of COVID-19 survivors are showing symptoms of chronic problems. This has raised concerns that the effects of infection are greater than initially thought. The “is a systematic disease that affects arteries throughout the body, which affects the kidneys and the brain. We have observed other acute damage as a failure to run the kidney that requires dyalisis or strokes and then a mousecard heart attack. So we've noticed many complications caused by the virus. Now we are seeing that a large percentage of the affected are showing chronic damage from the body, Dr. Roberto Cosentin, chief of the emergency ward at Papa Giovanni Hospital.

Some of the organs, such as lungs, are more affected. But the brain, skin, and sometimes we also have the inflammation of blood vessels. So it's not just a respiratory infection. It's not over”, said Dr. Emmanuel Catanacci, neurosurgeon surgeon at the Cremonian Hospital. Bergamo is one of the most affected cities in Europe from the pandemic. According to Business Institute, some survivors of the virus have problems with concentration, normal work, and physical activity.

For those who don't respect the rules, I'd like them to experience for a week what I felt, for a week to feel as bad as I was. So they would probably realize that there should be no disregard for the warnings or mandatory rules that must be applied”, said Philippo Alvain, survivor of COVID-19. Most people infected with COVID-19 generally recover within a few weeks. While those experiencing longer - term symptoms usually face sluggishness, headaches, anxiety, and muscle pain, problems lasting for several weeks.

Patients in need of intensive care, including those in aspirin or dyalis, face more serious problems. Those affected by pneumonia can experience lung pain. There are reports of swelling of tissue, heart disease, kidney function and liver. However, it is still early to know whether these problems will be permanent for these patients.
