“ Even those who were not severely affected when they first caught the virus remain impaired, with extreme breathlessness and cognitive dysfunction among the persistent symptoms.
More than 500 patients were included in the SAGE study - 62% of whom suffered from organ impairment six months after their initial coronavirus diagnosis.
These patients had an MRI scan six months later, revealing the lasting extent of their health problems.
The results, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, showed 59% of long COVID patients still had issues with one organ and 29% with multiple.
Only 13% of those who took part in the study had required hospital treatment when first diagnosed with COVID.”
