Abstract

Introduction: The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located in the anterior face of the neck and is responsible for secreting the hormones T3, T4 and calcitonin. In the thyroid, a large number of receptors for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) have been noted, which serves as the gateway for Covid-19, which enters that gland and can cause direct and/or indirect damage and generate various symptoms, depending on the patient, that is, whether the patient has a chronic disease or not (type 2 diabetes, hypertension) and it has been noted that when the patient has a chronic disease, the clinical picture worsens, which can generate a complication very severe: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and subacute thyroiditis.
Objectives: The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the symptoms caused by covid-19 post infection and a possible post infection treatment.
Material and methods: This work is a systematic review whose material and methods collected will be what is available in the selected articles in the database: Pubmed and Google Scholary
