PARIS, Sept 25 — A third of people hospitalised 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.
Millions worldwide are estimated to suffer from long Covid, in which a range of symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue and brain fog last long after patients first contracted the virus.
The study is the first to look at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of multiple organs — the brain, heart, liver, kidneys and lungs — after being hospitalised with Covid.
Scarring and signs of inflammation were among the changes seen in lungs.
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 hospitalised with Covid.
