Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) attacks pulmonary alveolar cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and causes pulmonary infections that result in coronavirus disease (COVID-19), inducing immune responses that can result in severe pneumonia. We reviewed ...
COVID-19 was only identified in 2019 and scientists are learning more every day about what it can do to your lungs. They believe that the effects on your body are similar to those of two other coronavirus diseases, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome ...
20, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- If you suffered a bout of COVID-19 and your lungs took a beating, new research has reassuring news: You will likely be spared long-term respiratory damage. Scientists looked at COVID-19 survivors who had asymptomatic, moderate or severe COVID-19 infe...

Severe COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is frequently accompanied by dysfunction of the lungs and extrapulmonary organs. However, the organotropism of SARS-CoV-2 and the port of virus entry for systemic dissemination remain largely unknown. We profiled 26 COVID-19 autopsy cases from four...

COVID-19 with PTB coinfection caused excessive inflammation in the lungs, and a highly inflammatory environment can accelerate the progression of TB [33]. A recent study showed that COVID-19 might lead to recurrence in PTB patients [34]. Meanwhile, glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants used to...

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
