A member asked:
Can you develop pneumonia after a month of having covid?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
COPID-19: Possibly. COVID-19 is largely incompletely understood. Most patients are asymptomatic after infection. Those who develop symptoms will do so frequently within 11.5 days of infection. Initial symptoms could be URI symptoms, GI symptoms, then progress into pneumonia or ARDS. There were reports that some patients developed pneumonia one month after initial infection, even after improvement.

Agree w Dr. Le Wang: Patients may develop pulmonary complications that could progress over time to Pneumonia or even Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
