Importance of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the development of systemic vasculitis

Abstract

Environmental change, climate warming, increasing population density, high migration activity of the population and other factors provoke the emergence and spread of new infections around the world. The emergence in December 2019 of diseases caused by the new coronavirus (“coronavirus disease 2019”) has already gone down in history as an emergency of international concern. It is known that the most common clinical manifestation of a new infection is pneumonia, as well as respiratory distress syndrome in a significant proportion of patients. Our article presents a brief analytical review of the temporary guidelines of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation "Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)", version 3 (03.03.20) and other literature sources. The team of authors hopes that these data will be useful to doctors in providing medical care to patients with a new coronavirus infection, as well as teachers in the preparation of students and residents.
