Snippet: COVID-19 was initially considered exclusively as a respiratory disease. It now appears that it is also a systemic disease with vascular inflammation and thromboses.

Document: COVID-19 was initially considered exclusively as a respiratory disease. It now appears that it is also a systemic disease with vascular inflammation and thromboses. In the most severe forms, these plurifactorial pulmonary lesions are responsible for acute respiratory distress syndrome.
