Is creatine kinase associated with outcome in COVID-19?

摘要

The new "severe acute respiratory syndrome" (SARS)-correlated coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), first isolated from three patients from Wuhan (China), has been spreading worldwide since the end of 2019, emerging as an exceptional global crisis. This disorder was called "coronavirus disease 2019" or COVID-19. Clinical features are highly variable, and the clinical severity ranges from asymptomatic to fatal. The understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection is ongoing. Several neurological symptoms were identified as part of the COVID-19 spectrum, including muscle pain, confusion, and headache[1].
