Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the long-term lung effects of COVID-19 pneumonia in children aged 0-18, focusing on follow-up assessments three and six months after hospitalization.
- Among 41 participants, around 17% reported lingering symptoms like decreased exercise tolerance, dyspnea, and cough, while lung ultrasound highlighted abnormalities that were more pronounced initially but improved by the second visit.
- Despite some persistent symptoms, the pulmonary function tests did not show significant differences compared to healthy children or between follow-up visits, suggesting that long-term impacts may be mild and tend to resolve.
