The paper considers the publications that reports endocrine changes in patients with SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. In the electronic database PubMed, the investigators sought by using the terms of subject headings (MESH) associated with SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 and different hormones. To search for the publications, the interval was taken from January 2002 and to the present time, since the outbreak of SARS-CoV occurred in 2002. The articles dealing with the outbreaks of both viruses were considered. The viruses of the family SARS-CoV(-2) cause systemic diseases involving many organs. The patients are observed to have hormonal and metabolic disorders. There are data on the damaging effect of both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 on the pancreas and thyroid, adrenals and gonads.
Keywords:
