ABSTRACT
In the relatively short period of time since December 2019, hundreds of millions of people globally have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, irrespective of their age, gender or ethnicity. Over that time, numerous mutations of various degrees of virulence and patho-genicity have occurred. The course of COVID-19 infection, an acute disease caused by the virus, is rather varied, ranging from asym-ptomatic or symptoms of common viral respiratory diseases to critical, with multiorgan failure and high mortality in high-risk patients. The overall mortality of the disease is 1-2 %. Unlike other viral respiratory diseases, this infection is often associated with frequent and rather diverse clinical manifestations developing after the acute phase of the infection, that is, more than 28 days after its onset. These complications are observed in both individuals with mild illness treated at home and inpatients with severe to critical illness. They develop both early after acute infection and some time after recovering from the disease. This rather heterogeneous group of pathologies may affect various organs and organ systems, with respiratory tract involvement being the most common and one of the most serious complications. Severe respiratory post-COVID-19 complications often include respiratory tract infections, in particular pneumonia.Copyright © 2022, Trios spol. s.r.o.. All rights reserved.
