Abstract
The infection with SARS-CoV-2, primarily recognized for its respiratory effects, reveals itself as a multifaceted clinical phenomenon, extending beyond the pulmonary realm. Accompanied by gastrointestinal, neurological, thromboembolic, cardiovascular, and immune-related manifestations, the complexity of the systemic repercussions of the disease becomes apparent. Genetic predisposition is a significant factor in the development of autoimmune hepatitis, as both viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, and drugs, including vaccines, can act as triggers in genetically susceptible individuals. A profound understanding of these mechanisms is essential to effectively address the clinical complexity of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
