Case of the Day 196 - 6 Years On: The Lasting Legacy of COVID-19

In one week, I saw four patients with COVID-19 in their history, each presenting completely differently.

Patient 1 - 75-year-old man with persistent mild dyspnea and cough since his COVID-19 episode of 2021

Patient 2 - 49-year-old man with recurrent episodes of allergic rhinosinusitis

Patient 3 - 69-years old lady who had persistent dyspnea

Patient 4 - 70-years old with persistent progressive dyspnea since the 2020 COVID-19 episode

In this video, I walk through all four, revisit the framework I laid out in Case 100 (4 Years Later, Oct 2025), and update it with what the latest literature now tells us at 6 years.
