Pulmonary and Extra Pulmonary Manifestations of COVID-19

Abstract

Global public health emergency: COVID-19, triggered by SARS-CoV-2. A thorough search was conducted using Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases, and 36 relevant studies were identified. COVID-19 has spread to over 200 nations, causing 14 million infections as of July 18, 2020. SARS-CoV-2 affects more than only the respiratory system, causing fever, cough, and dyspnea. COVID-19 extrapulmonary symptoms are little documented [1]. This study covers COVID-19's cardiovascular and neurological symptoms. COVID-19's clinical characteristics will be compared to SARS and MERS. The goal is to raise knowledge of the organ systems impacted by SARS-CoV-2 and explain the clinical similarities and distinctions of these disorders. COVID-19 patients also have arrhythmias. COVID-19 individuals also experience gastrointestinal problems. These symptoms include moderate diarrhea to severe vomiting and abdominal discomfort. COVID-19 has pulmonary and extrapulmonary symptoms. The most prevalent symptoms are pulmonary (ARDS, pneumonia, and respiratory failure) and extrapulmonary (cardiovascular and gastrointestinal). Understanding these symptoms helps physicians treat COVID-19 patients [2]. COVID-19 causes pneumonia, ARDS, and respiratory failure. Severe COVID-19 can lead to ARDS. Lung inflammation causes fluid collection and respiratory problems. X- rays and CT scans can detect COVID-19-related pneumonia. Severe COVID-19 patients often have a respiratory failure when their lungs cannot provide adequate oxygen.
