COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is an acute infectious illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), primarily targeting the respiratory system but capable of causing multiorgan pathology Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by viral replication followed, in severe presentations, by a dysregulated systemic inflammatory response, endothelial injury, and coagulopathy Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic infection or mild upper respiratory s...

The disease affects pediatric and adult populations, with older adults and individuals with underlying medical comorbidities experiencing the greatest risk of severe disease Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic infection or mild upper respiratory symptoms—such as fever, cough, fatigue, and anosmia—to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), thromboembolic events, and death
