Lung ultrasound alterations six months after COVID-19 pneumonia: a descriptive study

COVID-19 pneumonia remains a significant public health concern, particularly among high-risk groups susceptible to severe disease and post-COVID sequelae. Efficient screening methods are needed for evaluating potential sequelae. The technical features of lung ultrasound-its accessibility, safety, reproducibility, and ability to detect pulmonary abnormalities during post-COVID follow-up-may render it a valuable tool for patient monitoring. In our series, lung ultrasound findings (pleural line irregularities, B-lines, and subpleural consolidations) were frequent. However, further studies correlating sonographic findings with associated factors and persistent symptoms are required to confirm and validate its role in this setting.
