COVID-19 and sepsis: clinical parallels of clinical course and treatment options

The article analyzes syndrome complex in sepsis and severe COVID-19, identifies the main pathophysiological priorities in the diagnosis and differences in treatment. Adap-tation of existing treatment regimens for diseases with similar pathogenesis may help to improve treatment outcomes and reduce SARS-CoV-2-related mortality. However, when discussing the parallels between COVID-19 and sepsis, focusing on their similarities in immunopathogenesis and pathophysiology, the proposed treatment options should be reviewed based on the patient's clinical assessment and laboratory parameters individually. © 2022, Zaslavsky Publishing House.
