Abstract
The article discusses the pathogenesis of a new coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in relation with sex and age aspects. The frequency of asymptomatic course and the frequency of complications of the disease are analyzed. The known factors of the development and severity of the course of the disease in patients of different sexes are described. The statistical structure of the distribution of respiratory tract lesions in a new coronavirus infection is considered, as well as the distribution of clinical symptoms present in patients by age and sex. The analysis of outpatient records of 100 patients diagnosed with coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus was carried out. The structure of respiratory tract lesions in these patients was studied depending on the described clinical manifestations. The pathogenetic substantiation of the clinical picture of acute upper and lower respiratory tract lesions with SARS-CoV-2 virus is given. It was found that the leading symptoms of COVID-19 in children were fever, catarrhal symptoms, and gastrointestinal manifestations.
