Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations [1]. SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the respiratory tract and can lead to severe respiratory illness, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and other complications. However, COVID-19 is also a systemic disease and can cause various extrapulmonary complications. The severity of the disease ranges from asymptomatic or mild to a life-threatening illness with multi-organ failure leading to intensive care unit admission, intubation, or death [2–4].
