Abstract

Currently, the global population is under siege from COVID-19, a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 usually presents with mild respiratory symptoms but is also associated with less common and somewhat delayed clinical manifestations such as thrombotic events (arterial or venous), skin inflammation, vasculitis, and the development of pulmonary fibrosis. A literature review was conducted with the aim of characterizing hematological changes in patients during COVID-19. A total of 23 bibliographic references were reviewed, including books, journals, and websites from the Scielo and Infomed platforms. It was found that the main hematological alterations caused by COVID-19 include lymphocytopenia, increased D-dimer, thrombocytopenia, platelet deficiency, and thrombosis, all of which are favored by the cytokine storm.
