Retinal capillary involvement in early post-COVID-19 patients: A healthy controlled study
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Feb 04, 2021
Savastano MC, Gambini G, Cozzupoli GM, et al. - Researchers conducted this cohort observational study to detect a macular microvascular impairment in early post-SARS-CoV2 patients comparing them to the general population using optical coherence tomography angiography imaging. In total, 70 post-COVID-19 patients with a mean age of 53.7 ± 14 years (39 males, 31 females) were assessed at one month after discharge. A control group of 22 healthy patients (8 males, 14 females) was evaluated for comparison. In mild post-COVID-19 patients with 1-month hospital discharge, macula and perimacular vessel density and perfusion resulted unaltered, indicating no or limited retinal vascular involvement with SARS-CoV-2.
