Abstract EN
COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with high short-term morbidity and mortality.
Lungs are the main organs affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
In the long-term, the pulmonary sequelae related to COVID-19 are expected to rise significantly leading to an extended impact on community health and health care facilities.
A wide variety of long-term respiratory complications secondary to COVID-19 have been described ranging from persistent symptoms and radiologically observable changes to impaired respiratory physiology, vascular complications, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Even after two years, respiratory sequalae related to post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection have not been fully explored and understood.
The main treatment for most COVID-19 respiratory complications is still symptomatic and supportive-care oriented.
In this review article, we shed light on current knowledge of the post-COVID-19 complications, focusing on pulmonary fibrosis, treatment directions, and recommendations to physicians.
