Ministry of Health Coronavirus Scientific Committee Member Prof. Dr. Tevfik Özlü made evaluations about the diseases that developed after Covid-19. Özlü said, “There are patients whose life is difficult after Covid-19, and some of them are those who have had a mild illness. In general, some of our patients may have long-lasting symptoms after Covid-19. “There are those who are unable to climb stairs, cannot go back to their daily work, have respiratory distress, and even those who are oxygen dependent and have to live in a wheelchair. But some of them may have milder symptoms. There are those who have heart-related problems, we have patients who have to receive long-term continuous cardiac treatment,” he said. .
“Sometimes it can be very serious”
Stating that some permanent diseases emerged after Covid-19, Özlü used the following statements:
“There are also patients who are under continuous follow-up, some of whom have long-term diabetes and its related treatment, and develop kidney failure. Of course, they generally recover. People who recover return to normal within 3-5 months. But in this way, they are few in number but proportionally less. We have patients, but of course there can be devastating and permanent damage for them. We follow them, they come to us constantly, we do their check-ups, we try to help them with their treatment as much as we can, but there are patients whose lives are really difficult, and some of them are people who have suffered from Covid. In other words, he says, “I did not go to the intensive care unit, he did not go to the service. As I said, sometimes it can be very serious. That’s why I’m young, throw it away We say it will pass, but sometimes it doesn’t.”
