Some who recover from Covid get debilitating spine infection

While post-Covid syndrome is a well-known entity in which some patients continue to experience Covid-like symptoms for months, city doctors have now noticed a debilitating spine infection in some elderly patients hospitalized for the viral fever. ​​At Nanavati Hospital in Juhu, six elderly patients with spine infection or abscess were treated in four weeks. “They needed hospitalization for weeks during their Covid-19 infection,’’ said spine surgeon Dr Mihir Bapat.
