Nearly a third of the COVID patients had abnormalities in more than one organ an average of five months after leaving hospital, the study found.
PARIS — A third of people hospitalized with COVID-19 have "abnormalities" in multiple organs months after getting infected, a UK study said on Saturday, potentially shedding light on the elusive condition of long Covid.
The authors of the new study, which was published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal, said it marks a "step forward" in helping long COVID sufferers. Those hospitalized with COVID were 14 times more likely to have lung abnormalities, and were three times more likely to have abnormalities in their brain, it said. However hearts and livers appeared to be more resilient, the researchers added.
Study co-author Christopher Brightling of Leicester University said the study provides "concrete evidence there are changes in a number of organs" after people are hospitalized with COVID.
