A new study from the University of São Paulo has definitively established that severe #Covid-19 is a #thrombotic #disease that damages small blood vessels in the lungs, after which the clots spread to other organs in the body and damage them as well.

“This study furnished the final proof of what we’d been pointing out since the very start of the pandemic – that severe COVID-19 is a thrombotic disease. The virus SARS-CoV-2 has a tropism for [is attracted to] the endothelium, the layer of cells that lines blood vessels. When it invades endothelial cells, it first affects microvascular circulation. The problem starts in the capillaries of the lungs [the tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli], followed by clotting in the larger vessels that can reach any other organ,” said pulmonologist Elnara Negri, first author of the article and a professor at the University of São Paulo’s Medical School (FM-USP). She was one of the first researchers in the world to reach the conclusion that severe COVID-19 is a thrombotic disease.
