Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia with respiratory failure in a subset of infected patients. To date, it is unclear which factors trigger or cause the severe course of disease. Moreover, there is only limited evidence concerning extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19.
