Abstract :
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused the outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It is principally identified with respiratory disease and pulmonary manifestations. However, based on various reports, COVID-19 infection not only affects the respiratory system but also infects other organs. Cardiac manifestations, gastrointestinal complications, liver dysfunction, musculoskeletal disorders, ocular findings, and hematological manifestations are among the published extrapulmonary clinical manifestations. Lack of awareness and attention to these extrapulmonary features might result in misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, incorrect treatment, and eventually an increase in the spread of the virus by unidentified individuals to others in the community. Therefore, the current study comprehensively reviews and discusses the extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 in mild or severe patients.
