Abstract:
Post-Covid is defined by persistent symptoms following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, after excluding other causes. The prevalence of post-Covid is estimated at around 30% in the general population after an infection. Some of the risk factors include female sex, the number of symptoms in the acute phase, and comorbidities. Vaccination and Omicron infection are associated with a lower prevalence. The pathophysiology of post-Covid is not known to date, with hypotheses including immune dysregulation, viral persistence, endothelial dysfunction, microthrombosis and their consequences. Current management is defined by an adaptation of daily activities, and a symptom-based approach reducing their severity, frequency and impact. Clinical trials are underway to offer potential treatments for those affected.

A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
