Abstract

Complicated coronavirus infection occurs as a systemic disease. Although the target organs of this new pathogen for the human population are the lungs and the heart. This virus does not leave an organ or system of the human body intact. Apart from the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, which plays a leading role in the development of the pathological process, the hepatobiliary, urinary, nervous, endocrine, gastrointestinal systems, including the skin and its appendages are most often affected by this disease. Even the musculoskeletal system is not left untouched. All affected organs and systems are the root of complications occurring in the convalescent period for patients which sometimes exceed six months. This is the main argument for conducting consistent, targeted monitoring of the so-called Post-Covid period. The aim is to prevent the chronicity of the pathology that forms a true Post-Covid syndrome and the subsequent disability of patients with a complicated coronavirus infection. The correct therapeutic approach in all patients with a complicated coronavirus infection is extremely important for shortening the Post-Covid convalescence period and reducing the consequences of Post-Covid syndrome. In this article we comment on the main strategic approaches in the treatment of complicated coronavirus infection with the belief that are the key to success in the treatment of the acute stage of the disease and minimizing complications in the convalescent period.
