Respiratory Function Tests, Long COVID
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the respiratory system in post-COVID syndrome. The main question aims to answer: how the post-COVID syndrome alters the lung function Participants will be asked to perform lung function tests. Researchers will compare post-COVID group to matched control healthy individuals.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTLung function test
Spirometry to assess lung volumes, forced oscillations to measure respiratory mechanics, whole body plethysmography to assess static lung volumes and airway resistance, lung diffusion capacity measurements.
BIOLOGICALCOVID infection
Verified COVID-19 infection.
