Coronavirus Symptoms Continue Months after Recovery: UK Study

The Oxford study's results showed that two to three months after the onset of the novel coronavirus, 64 percent of patients suffered persistent breathlessness and 55 percent reported significant fatigue.

MRI scans showed abnormalities in the lungs of 60 percent of the Covid-19 patients, in the kidneys of 29 percent, in the hearts of 26 percent, and the livers of 10 percent.

"The abnormalities detected ... strongly correlated with serum markers of inflammation," Raman said.

"This suggests a potential link between chronic inflammation and ongoing organ damage among survivors."
