All the world is involved in the COVID-19 disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Coronavirus is a positive-sense RNA and has an envelope. There is no specific drug for this disease and treatment methods are limited. Malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance can make dysfunction in the immune system and impairment of the immune system causes increasing the risk of infection. Understanding the aspects of biological features of the virus will help the development of diagnostic tests, pharmacological therapies, and vaccines. Here, we review and discuss increasing and decreasing some trace elements and imbalance of serum and plasma electrolytes involving in COVID-19.
全世界都受到了由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 引起的 COVID-19 疾病的影响。冠状病毒是一种正链 RNA 病毒,具有包膜。目前尚无针对这种疾病的特效药,治疗方法有限。营养不良和电解质失衡会导致免疫系统功能障碍,而免疫系统受损会增加感染的风险。了解病毒的生物学特征有助于开发诊断检测、药物治疗和疫苗。在这里,我们回顾和讨论了 COVID-19 中涉及的一些微量元素的增加和减少以及血清和血浆电解质的失衡。
