The Hindu
Early detection and timely medical treatment can help prevent complications
A number of patients who had undergone treatment for COVID-19 are being diagnosed with vascular complications at the post-COVID clinic of the Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital (RGGGH). Though this was a cause for concern, doctors said that proper follow-up, early detection of symptoms and timely medical help would prevent complications. Vascular complications in patients during the post-COVID period were not new. According to doctors, there were patients who developed vascular complications in the first wave too. But now, the cases were slightly more in a shorter duration, and severity was high with more involvement of the arteries.More Related News

Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
