Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is a frequent consequence of respiratory distress observed in the acute phase of the disease. Heart failure, myocardial necrosis, and arrythmia persist after the acute phase and require a prolonged monitoring and an appropriate treatment. Brain damage may be directly related to the virus or more often the consequence of prolonged anoxia in patients on artificial ventilation, strokes, or an autoimmune syndrome such as an acute disseminated encephalomyelitis which, if accompanied by peripheral disorders and affecting the diaphragm, can aggravate respiratory disorders. Patients apparently recovering from the acute episode have been found to require prolonged convalescence or to complain of new symptoms after a period of remission.	./cache/cord-286408-bhrrb5s7.txt	./txt/cord-286408-bhrrb5s7.txt
