Resume

Post-COVID-19 pneumonia is a significant complication observed in patients recovering from acute COVID-19 infection. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent severe outcomes, including respiratory failure and long-term lung damage. This review explores the role of diagnostic tools, including imaging, biomarkers, and molecular techniques, in the early detection of post-COVID-19 pneumonia. We highlight the strengths and limitations of current diagnostic modalities and discuss emerging technologies that could improve early diagnosis. By synthesizing findings from 25 recent studies, this review underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing post-COVID-19 pneumonia and provides recommendations for future research and clinical practice.

Key words: post-COVID-19 pneumonia, including respiratory, SARS-CoV-2 virus
