TABLE 2: Pathophysiological stages of the evolution of coronavirus disease.
STAGES | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Viral endotheliits | ● diffuse multisystemic endothelial lesion caused by the virus |
● diffuse endotheliitis | |
● microvascular stasis due to endotheliitis | |
Progressive thrombosis | ● platelet aggregation, microvascular thrombosis |
● inflammation and thrombosis of larger vessels, intravascular coagulation; | |
Diffuse ischemia | ● multisystemic ischemia, SIRSa and DIVCb |
● refractory shock, MOFc and death |
Each stage of disease progression is presented on the left, with the main events listed on the right. (a) SIRS: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome; (b) DIVC: Disseminated intravascular coagulation; (c) MOF: Multiple organ failure.
