Impact of COVID-19 on Lung More than 213 million
people have been infected by coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) till now during the COVID-19
pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 mainly impacts the lungs but
can also damage different organs. During the
pandemic phase of COVID-19, the effect of long
COVID with ongoing various symptoms and
disability after SARS-CoV-2 infection has become
evident. COVID-19 infection has caused a range
of breathing problems, from mild to critical.
Aged people and people with health conditions
such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes may
have more serious symptoms. When the coronavirus
enters your body, it comes into contact with the
mucous membranes that line your nose, mouth, and
eyes. The coronavirus would enter a healthy cell
and use the same cell to produce new virus parts.
The virus would then multiple and infect the
nearby cells.

Effect of COVID-19 on Lungs COVID-19 can lead to
lung complications such as pneumonia, acute
respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, or even
sepsis. Sepsis can cause lasting harm to the
lungs and other organs. In the case of severe
COVID-19, a significant pro-inflammatory
condition can result in several critical
diseases, complications, and syndromes. COVID-19
Pneumonia The lungs become filled with fluid and
inflamed due to pneumonia, leading to breathing
difficulties. The breathing problems can become
severe enough for some people to require
hospitalization and treatment with oxygen or even
a ventilator. Pneumonia caused due to COVID-19
infection tends to take hold in both lungs. The
fluid gets filled in air sacs of the lungs,
thereby, limiting their ability to take in oxygen
and causing shortness of breath, cough and, other
symptoms.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) ADRS
is a serious condition. Due to the progression of
COVID-19 pneumonia, more of the air sacs become
filled with fluid and further leaking from the
tiny blood vessels in the lungs. In due course,
you may feel shortness of breath, and this can
lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS). ADRS is a form of lung failure where
patients are unable to breathe on their own and
may require ventilator support to help circulate
oxygen in the body. ADRS can be fatal whether it
occurs at home or in the hospital. People
surviving from ARDS may have lasting pulmonary
scarring. Some of the risk factors increase the
likelihood of the development of ARDS in people
with COVID-19, such as advanced age, diabetes,
and high blood pressure. Continue to Read More
