Viral pneumonia occurs when small air sacs in the lung called alveoli, fill with fluid, he explains, whereas ARDS is much more severe and indicates a disruption of the barrier that separates air and blood in the lungs. Viral pneumonia will resolve both clinically and radiologically in about 12 weeks, says Calligaro, while Ards is a much longer game.“[Ards] carries a much higher mortality, and it’s associated with much more in the way of lung damage and fibrotic change.
We’re not 100% sure how many people are going to suffer from ongoing symptoms. It’s not the case in all circumstances, but conversely it actually is the case that some patients in the acute illness are relatively asymptomaticAs this occurs, our bodies also produce what are called neutralising antibodies, which protect our cells from becoming infected with virus.
