Description Accepted date: 17 June 2020
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has already infected more than 6. 3 million people
worldwide as of 1st June 2020 and caused a global medical emergency. Healthcare
professionals have been struggling to devise appropriate therapeutic strategies against
the virus mainly due to the diverse range of symptoms and multiple-organ failure in
infected patients. Several broad-spectrum antiviral drugs are being used for treatment;
however, there is yet no specific drug or vaccine against the virus. Multiple-organ failure
due to hyperactivity of the immune system resulting in cytokine storms is a major reason
for death among the 5% critically ill patients. In this article, we have discussed the damage
caused by COVID-19 on different organs of the human body.
