description Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, may result in multi-system pathology associated with the failure of multiple organ systems. The disease primarily manifests as a mild respiratory illness, however a minority of patients may progress to severe disease, with pneumonia, respiratory failure, and hyperinflammatory syndromes increasing mortality. This article explores the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection and presents the management of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Along with acute illness, the chapter looks at post-COVID sequelae, considers recovery from illness, and offers consideration for the disease into the future.
