Pratima Goyal, Saurabh Pandey, SP Pandey, Swati Pandey

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has spread worldwide claiming many lives and has emerged as a global threat. It has an average incubation period of 6.4 days. Although majority of the patients present with common manifestations like fever and respiratory tract involvement, however SARS-CoV-2 has been found to have multisystem involvement affecting various other organs like gastrointestinal tract, renal, hepatic, cardiac, neurological, ocular, endocrine, skin manifestations etc. A knowledge of the wide range of clinical manifestations in COVID-19 will help clinicians in early diagnosis of the disease as often these extra-respiratory symptoms are the initial or the only manifestations of the disease. It will also help clinicians to have a high index of suspicion to identify patients who are more likely to develop complications. Keywords: Coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2.
