Coronavirus infection leads to some complications, including long-term consequences.

Scientists from the Harvard school of public health analyzed data from more than 193,000 patients aged 18-65 in the United States who had confirmed COVID-19.

As it turned out, 14% of them after infection were diagnosed with at least one new disease that required treatment.

According to Medportal.ru, an increased risk of clinical consequences after an acute infectious period was noted in various organ systems, including cardiovascular, neurological, renal, respiratory and mental complications.

According to the authors of the study, the likelihood of getting a new diagnosis after COVID-19 is increased by about 5% compared to people who have not encountered coronavirus. Moreover, this risk is increased not only among older patients or those who have already had health problems, but also among fairly young people who do not have concomitant diseases.
