Study Description

Brief Summary

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of atypical emerging pneumonia. The clinical spectrum varies from an asymptomatic or mild illness to a serious illness with a high risk of mortality. The most severely affected patients (5%) present an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), requiring assistance with mechanical ventilation in intensive care.

In 2003, persistent lung damage was observed in a third of patients in a Singaporean cohort one year after SARS-CoV infection. A Chinese study showed that 27.3% of their SARS-CoV patients presented a decreased carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO) and 21.5% of pulmonary fibrosis lesions.

Due to the very recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2, no data is currently available of long-term outcome of these patients. However, recent publications including short-term CT monitoring suggest the genesis of fibrotic pulmonary parenchymal sequelae.

In view of these data, the investigators can fear the occurrence of pulmonary sequelae in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. It is therefore essential to evaluate the evolution of the respiratory status of the most severe patients who have had a stay in intensive care with respiratory assistance.
