Fibrosis causes a decline in the respiratory function, an extension of CT scan lesions and an increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. A right ventricular failure secondary to pulmonary arterial hypertension as a consequence of fibrosis or an acute pulmonary embolism, and rhythm disorders (extrasystoles, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, atrial fibrillation) are sometimes observed. Tubular damage causes necrosis, which may lead to end-stage chronic renal failure, in a silent course that requires a prolonged surveillance. Brain damage may be related to the virus or may result from anoxia in ventilated patients, strokes or acute disseminated autoimmune encephalomyelitis which, if it affects the peripheral nerves and the diaphragm, may worsen respiratory disorders. After an often short acute phase, poorly qualified disorders may be observed. ./cache/cord-286033-klkoyw1r.txt ./txt/cord-286033-klkoyw1r.txt
