Is COVID-19 a systemic disease?

Research Abstract

Background

Many observations denote that we should deal with COVID-19 as a systemic disease.

Methods

In the following report, we briefly discuss observations denoting “the systemic” nature of COVID-19.

Results

COVID-19 virology, the roles of ACE-2 receptor in COVID-19 pathogenesis, immunological aspects of the disease, endothelial dysfunction and coagulopathy, and autopsy studies denote the systemic nature of COVID-19.

Conclusion

Thinking of COVID-19 as a systemic disease, we will implement our ways of understanding and hence dealing with that disease. The most important public health solution is an effective vaccine for the broad population remaining at risk. As patients with COVID-19 present a broad spectrum of clinical presentation and distinct phenotypes, different strategies of management should be customized to the specific individual phenotypes. Further researches are highly needed to
