COVID-19 has become a great burden of the world in respect of health care, social, and economical reason. Several million people died worldwide so far and more and more mutants are generated and spread. Older people with co-morbidities and frailty syndrome have a significantly higher risk to get the infection and also higher the risk of a more serious disease process. Mortality of COVID-19 is also higher in case of geriatric patients. In this review we attempted to summarize the factors of the higher susceptibility for more serious disease, what actions need to be taken for defending older patients and also special aspects of clinical presentation including ophthalmic symptoms.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides a forum for important new research papers written by eminent scientists on experimental medical sciences. Papers reporting on both original work and review articles in the fields of basic and clinical physiology, pathophysiology (from the subcellular organization level up to the oranizmic one), as well as related disciplines, including history of physiological sciences, are accepted.
