After neocoronavirus is cured, patients may be left with some sequelae, such as pulmonary fibrosis, pericarditis, and abnormal olfactory and gustatory functions, but the relevant studies are still insufficient to accurately account for them.
Neocoronaviruses are emerging viral infectious diseases that mainly attack the lungs and induce neocoronavirus pneumonia, but can also involve other target organs throughout the body, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and cranial brain, and may present with corresponding clinical symptoms.
After cure of novel coronavirus, a small number of patients may be left with some short- to medium-term sequelae, such as pulmonary fibrosis, pericarditis, abnormal taste function, and abnormal olfactory function.
There are still many patients with novel coronavirus infections worldwide, and those who are cured are still under clinical observation, and the sequelae of the disease may appear years later. It is recommended to seek prompt medical attention for any symptoms of discomfort.
Note: The terms “new coronary pneumonia and new coronary virus pneumonia” mentioned in this article were renamed to “new coronary virus infection” on December 26, 2022, as announced by the National Health Commission.
