Abstract
- SARS-CoV-2 is a highly contagious and dangerous coronavirus that has been spreading around the world since late December 2019. Severe COVID-19 has been observed to induce severe damage to the alveoli, and the slow loss of lung function led to the deaths of many patients. Scientists from all over the world are now saying that SARS-CoV-2 can spread through the air, which is a very frightening prospect for humans. Many scientists thought that this virus would evolve during the first wave of the pandemic and that the second wave of reinfection with the coronavirus would also be very dangerous. In late 2020 and early 2021, researchers found different genetic versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in many places around the world. Patients with different types of viruses had different symptoms. It is now evident from numerous case studies that many COVID-19 patients who are released from nursing homes or hospitals are more prone to developing multi-organ dysfunction than the general population. Understanding the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and its impact on various organ systems is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies and managing long-term health consequences. The case studies highlighted in this review provide valuable insights into the ongoing health concerns of individuals affected by COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
