“Its the 1st study to demonstrate lung abnormalities in #LongCovid patients who are breathless & other investigations are unremarkable. It suggest the virus is causing some persistent abnormality in the microstructure of the lungs or pulmonary vasculature” theguardian.com/society/2022/j…
It’s two years & still deal with chronic debilitating breathlessness from #LongCovid. It seems all of the “normal tests” don’t really help with this disease 🤷♂️ - It’s time to have a very serious conversation about how to expedite diagnostics at “operation warp speed”.

“The initial results show there is *significantly impaired gas transfer* from the lungs to the bloodstream in these #LongCovid patients, even when other tests are normal. Similar abnormalities have been detected in Covid patients hospitalized with more severe disease”
“These #LongCovid patients have never been in hospital & did not have an acute severe illness when they had their Covid-19 infection. Some of them have been experiencing their symptoms for a year after contracting Covid-19.”
