Functional characteristics of patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia at 30 days post-infection

Justine Frija-Masson et al. Eur Respir J. .

Abstract

More than half of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia exhibit abnormal lung function 30 days after symptom onset, without clear relationship with pneumonia extent on chest CT. This pleads for systematic and long-term follow-up of patients with COVID-19. https://bit.ly/2TFMPqE
