ABSTRACT
Connective tissue serves as a framework for other tissues and organs, supporting their functions, shielding them from harmful factors, and aiding repair. In COVID-19, damaged endothelial cells (ECs), increased endothelial permeability, and thrombi contribute to the connective tissue disorders. Even post-recovery, the damage to ECs and connective tissues persists, resulting in long COVID. Individuals with connective tissue disorders are prone to developing severe COVID-19 and experiencing long COVID symptoms. It is advised that these patients receive at least three vaccine doses, undergo early prophylactic antithrombotic therapy during acute COVID-19, and maintain prophylactic anticoagulant treatment in cases of long COVID.
