The angiotensin-converting-enzyme is a specific receptor that the COVID-causing coronavirus uses to enter cells (ACE-2). The ACE 2 acts as a point of entry for the virus into the cells, where it then starts to reproduce and infiltrate further cells.
The heart, stomach, and even the skin all have ACE2 receptors in the human body. This is now thought to be the best justification for why COVID, although a respiratory tract illness, affects other bodily organs. The patient may have respiratory problems if the COVID has a crippling impact on the lungs.
The lungs get clogged with fluid and debris when they become irritated. It makes it more difficult for the lungs to absorb oxygen, which compromises the patient’s ability to breathe normally and causes the individual to gasp for air.
In addition to these additional COVID symptoms, those with coronavirus infection may also experience fever, cold, headache, and stomach pain.
Depending on the immune system of the host, the coronavirus may either go away and cause only minor symptoms or it may cause serious health problems. With COVID, the patient will need oxygen or ventilator assistance due to the severity of the illness.
Influenza pneumonia
In contrast to other types of pneumonia, COVID pneumonia affects both lungs. Fluid is injected into the air sacs as COVID pneumonia develops. Although many individuals recover from it without suffering any significant lung damage, a severe outcome cannot be completely ruled out. According to medical professionals, even after recovering from COVID pneumonia, it may take months for the patient to resume regular breathing since the lung may not be entirely healthy to do so.
Sepsis
Sepsis is a potentially fatal illness in which the body harms its own tissues while defending itself. In order to combat an infection, the body releases substances that inadvertently create inflammation. The coordination of the organs is upset as a result. According to experts, even if a person recovers from sepsis, there is a potential that it will take longer for the lungs to fully recover.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a disorder in which the body’s important organs cannot receive enough oxygen from the lungs. The progression of COVID pneumonia results in this respiratory problem. Although ARDS is a deadly illness, those who survive may have to deal with their failing lungs for a longer period of time.
