Post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis, which involves scarring of the lungs that can worsen over time and may require a lung transplant, affects some patients after infection, according to pulmonologists.

But why does pulmonary fibrosis in post-COVID-19 tend to resolve while it progresses in people with IPF who aren't sick from COVID-19? "Both diseases are caused by injury to alveolar epithelial ...

Pre-COVID exposure to corticosteroids also was linked with a small increase in pulmonary fibrosis incidence (IRR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0-1.3, P=0.02), but the association didn't hold up as well in ...

“In the present manuscript, which is a follow up of our initial work, we wanted to study the cellular origin of these genes in COVID-19 and IPF,’’ Dr. Herazo-Maya said. “This time, we also studied ...

Pulmonary fibrosis in patients with COVID-19 tends to resolve, while idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis always progresses. Scientists believe key immune elements – cells and genes – may explain ...

MSU researchers found a gene in excess for post-COVID patients with lung fibrosis. Nealy 10% of U.S. lung transplants are for post-COVID patients, according to UNOS.
