To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the presence of microvascular alterations evaluated by NVC in COVID-19 patients. We performed NVC and described in detail the morphological appearance in patients who needed hospital admission for COVID-19 pneumonia, in two different stages of the disease: patients still hospitalized with acute pneumonia, and patients already discharged and evaluated at outpatient clinics.	./cache/cord-352901-ia34l2ml.txt	./txt/cord-352901-ia34l2ml.txt
