Article Synopsis
- Post-COVID interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a condition affecting COVID-19 survivors, characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and lung function abnormalities, often identified through CT scans.
- A study analyzed data from 375 patients who experienced lingering symptoms three months after recovering from COVID-19, finding that 262 of them (about 70%) had post-COVID ILD, with common symptoms including shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, fatigue, and cough.
- Risk factors for developing post-COVID ILD included active smoking and having been admitted to intensive care during the acute phase of the disease; typical CT findings included ground glass opacities and fibrotic changes, indicating lung damage.
Background: Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer, accounting for 12.8% of cancer cases worldwide. As initially non-specific symptoms occur, it is difficult to diagnose in the early stages.
