Effect of reduced saturation and elevated D-dimer and interleukin 6 levels on vessel density and foveal avascular zone in patients with COVID-19 bilateral pneumonia
An OCTA study conducted 2 months after hospitalization for COVID-19 bilateral pneumonia showed reduced VD in those with SpO2 . 90% and elevated levels of D-dimers and IL-6 during hospitalization. Optical coherence tomography angiography testing can provide monitoring of ocular status in patients following SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially those who report visual disturbances.
