Many COVID-19 infections, for instance, involve heart damage — often swift and serious enough to cause heart failure or heart attacks. Real-time tentative assessment of the epidemiological characteristics of novel coronavirus infections in Wuhan, China, as at 22 January 2020.
The immune system kicks into gear, protecting your lungs from COVID-19 In the next phase, our immune systems, which prior infections and vaccinations have fine-tuned, re-tool antibodies and killer immune cells to capture and eliminate the new pathogen. 2020 Apr 23;382(17):1653-1659. doi: 10.1056/NEJMsr2005760. Symptoms may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure.56 The detected viral load is similar in the asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with COVID-19, which suggests potential transmission of the virus from asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients to other persons.57 Higher viral loads were detected early after symptom onset, and viral loads were higher in the nose compared with the throat.57 In the United States, diagnosis is currently through SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction diagnostic panel using upper and lower respiratory specimens.56 New serologic tests, at-home test kits, and point-of-care tests are likely to become available in the near future.

The most common significant complications were acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in 3.4% (1.1% in nonsevere cases and 15.6% in severe cases) and septic shock in 1.1% (0.1% in nonsevere cases and 6.4% in severe cases).53, Preliminary reports from 4226 patients with COVID-19 in the United States indicate that the highest fatality is seen in persons 85 years and older (10% to 27%), followed by persons aged 65 to 84 years (3% to 11%), persons aged 55 to 64 years (1% to 3%), and persons aged 20 to 54 years (<1%), with no fatalities among persons 19 years and younger.60 However, hospitalization and ICU admission rates do not follow this pattern and are fairly common in younger age strata, and (in contrast to the earlier reports from China) 20% of deaths occurred among adults aged 20 to 64 years, and 20% of those hospitalized were aged 20 to 44 years.60. A, Reddy Research has shown that infection with the influenza virus poses a more severe threat for people with heart disease than those without cardiac problems. Some COVID-19 patients who appear to be having a heart attack are instead suffering from marked inflammation of the heart muscle, called myocarditis. Older age (>65 years), comorbidities, and ARDS were factors associated with death.51, In a series of 191 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, 54 died and 137 survived.63 The odds of death increased with age, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, and high D-dimer levels on admission. The global SARS outbreak cost the world around $40 billion over a period of 6 months.23,24 Currently, there is no vaccine or specific antiviral effective against SARS-CoV.

Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine showed a significant reduction in viral carriage by day 6 compared with control individuals.79 In the 6 patients who received both hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, virus elimination was faster and more effective.79 This small study had multiple methodologic shortcomings, and further trials are testing this promising medication (NCT04261517).80 A randomized, controlled, open-label trial81 in 199 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 with low oxygen saturation indices tested a 14-day course of lopinavir-ritonavir vs standard care.

The most common comorbidities among these patients include hypertension (14.9%), diabetes (7.4%), and coronary heart disease (2.5%).53 Median length of hospital stay was 12 days (interquartile range, 10-14).
In multivariable adjusted models, cardiac injury and ARDS were significantly and independently associated with mortality, with hazard ratios of 4.26 and 7.89, respectively.68, Similarly, Guo et al69 reported factors associated with outcomes in 187 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (43 died; 144 discharged) in Wuhan, China. , Ruan Association of influenza-like illness activity with hospitalizations for heart failure: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.

Cases reported in China and Japan found the virusâs genetic material in spinal fluid, and a case in Florida found viral particles in brain cells. When Covid-19 enters the body, it attaches to our cells, hijacks them, and then creates copies of itself to invade even more cells. Also, it is likely that the asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases are missing from most reports, which further skews our understanding of the disease. et al.
