The conclusion which can be obtained from this study is that low D LCO is caused mainly by reduced alveolar volume, and not residual interstitial abnormalities or pulmonary vascular abnormalities caused by COVID-19. Besides, in order for an easier and direct comparison with some previous studies on pulmonary function in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) [4, 5] , D LCO /V A was kept in our report. In follow-up studies of rehabilitating SARS patients ranging from 0.5 to 2 years, the impaired D LCO was the most common abnormality, accounting for 15.5% to 43.6% [11] [12] [13] .
