Eleven former Covid patients were admitted to Ho Chi Minh City's Cho Ray Hospital over the past two months with inflammation and avascular necrosis, with two later dying.

 

Tran Anh Bich, deputy head of Cho Ray Hospital's otorhinolaryngology department, said all 11 patients had symptoms like pain in their heads, faces and mouths during the time they had Covid-19. These symptoms didn't subside even after they recovered from Covid-19, and they were subsequently diagnosed with other conditions like sinusitis or abscesses. However, despite various treatments, their health didn't improve.

 

The first two admitted patients had surgeries to their nasal cavities and eventually got better, but a scan revealed abnormal avascular necrosis sites. Doctors recommended more surgeries, but the patients refused because they felt their health had returned to normal. Later, they succumbed to multiple organ failure and died despite treatments.
