Our patient had a subacute onset of the illness, with symptoms developing over 2 months. He required mechanical ventilation for less than 24 hours postoperatively. His symptoms improved with immunosuppressants, but he remains dependent on steroids, oxygen, and immunosuppressive medication for more ...
The pathophysiology of acute illness and injury recognizes three main effectors: infection, trauma, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Each of them can act by itself or in combination with the other two in developing a systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome (SIRS) that is a generalized reaction to ...
in a significant proportion of patients, can progress to systemic symptoms, including gastrointestinal, neurologic, and musculoskeletal manifestations.

symptoms comprises persistent anosmia and ageusia, features that can linger in individuals after SARS-CoV-2 exposure for many months and that appear to be relatively independent of the fatiguing or painful systemic illness. These findings suggest that, unlike the systemic sequelae, trigger-specific ...
