Abstract(s)

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a positive-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family that could determine the infectious disease known as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or previously named as 2019 novel coronavirus or 2019-nCoV (Lai et al., 2020). COVID-19 disease clinical manifestation could be from asymptomatic to a mild illness being the most common symptoms: fever, dry cough, fatigue, sputum production, shortness of breath, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, headache, loss of smell and or loss of taste; or severe manifestation, bilateral interstitial pneumonia associated with severe respiratory failure. Other features of the virus are the long-term sequelae as hypercoagulability and the excessive multi-organ immune system response (World Health Organization, 2021).
