Abstract

Literary sources containing information about the course, diagnosis, and therapy of COVID-19 do not mention detoxification and/or antioxidant therapy. Based on their own clinical experience, the authors supplement the data on the pathogenesis of COVID-19, which provide a rationale for the necessary use of detoxifiers, sorbents, and antioxidants to improve the course, prognosis and outcome of the disease. The developed model of COVID-19 pathogenesis is pathophysiologically substantiated; the positive impact of the proposed pathogenetic therapy is demonstrated using clinical examples.
