ABSTRACT
The prevalence and duration of the long-term respiratory complications of COVID-19 infection remains to be elucidated. This short commentary reports on recently published studies in patients post-acute COVID-19 infection in terms of symptom prevalence, physiological and radiological sequela and where only symptoms are present despite investigation. Pulmonary function testing, 6-min walk tests, computed tomography chest and more advanced imaging modalities have been incorporated to reveal the underlying pathophysiology that cause such disabling symptoms in patient with post-acute COVID-9 syndrome (PACS). PACS has a serious impact on people's ability to return to work, affecting the physical, mental, social sphere and with significant healthcare and general economic consequences for them, their families and society.
