Review of SARS-COV-2 Systemic Impact: Building the Case for Sepsis via Virus in the Circulatory System.

SARS-COV-2 can contribute to long term consequences associated with sepsis and circulatory dysfunction. In this insightful paper, we highlight the emerging pathophysiology utilizing two case examples. Both systemic and organ specific features are discussed. In addition, a novel laboratory assay is presented that identified SARS-COV-2 in the circulation using conserved SARS ion channels rather than the spike protein. The presentation is linked to the pathophysiology with the emphasis for early recognition and continued research. This paper will serve as a catalyst for continued discovery.
