Abstract

COVID-19 infection is characterized by different clinical presentations. The thrombotic complications play the leading role in COVID-19 infection. SARS-CoV-2 virus can activate hemostasis at different levels: pulmonary tissue damage with subsequent plasma coagulation activation; local endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation during the course of the disease. Routine use of the anticoagulation treatment seems reasonable in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
