In this respect, Chinese experts noted that in severe cases, patients can develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with coagulation predominant-type coagulopathy [9] . The excess production of proinflammatory cytokines, increased levels of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), the stimulation of cell-death mechanisms and vascular endothelial damage are the major causes of coagulation disorder in any severe infection (Fig. 1) . The major targets of the SARS-CoV-2 are the lung epithelial cell, lymphocyte, and the vascular endothelial cell, and these findings can explain that the clinical presentation of severe COVID-19 is characterized by ARDS, shock, and coagulopathy [12, 47] . ./cache/cord-312684-3i2r2ahr.txt ./txt/cord-312684-3i2r2ahr.txt
