Abstract

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 1436 patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection who visited MEDLATEC medical facilities from March 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022. The results showed that 39% were male and 61% female, with a mean age of 39 and the majority of patients in the working age range from 18-60 years old.


74% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have clinical symptoms, of which cough is the most common symptom, followed by chest pain and shortness of breath. The group of patients with a healthy history accounted for 76% of cases; the remaining group of underlying diseases with hypertension accounted for the most, followed by the group with chronic lung disease.


Up to 49% of patients have suspected COVID-related lung lesion; with the most important lesions being interstitial thickening and most of them being mild according to the CT-score scale.
