What are the complications of COVID-19?
In severe cases, there may appear symptoms such as:
- severe lung infection, viral pneumonia
- sepsis and septic shock – generalised infection and inflammatory response
all of which require specialised medical care.
The patient’s condition can deteriorate rapidly, often in the second week of illness.
Some patients have neurological symptoms, such as personality changes or changes in alertness.
In addition, patients with COVID-19 may experience complications such as thrombosis, stroke or heart attack due to the inflammatory process and increased blood clotting.
Hospitalisation rates increase with age, especially for people who are at least 65 years old, as well as in the case of patients with pre-existing conditions.
It is becoming increasingly clear that some patients may experience long-term effects of COVID-19 infection, including difficulty breathing and high heart rate, fatigue, loss of smell and taste.
