Methods: This study was a systematic review of current evidence conducted in November
2020 to investigate probable late and long-term complications of COVID-19. We performed a …

Studies on host-pathogen interaction have identified human ACE2 as a host cell receptor
responsible for mediating infection by coronavirus (COVID-19). Subsequent studies have …

The prevalence of chemosensory dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 varies greatly
