Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) has caused new morphological changes in almost all tissues of the human body, especially the upper respiratory tract (URI) is prone to damage as the main entry point of the virus. The richness of the nasal epithelium with ACE2 and TMPRSS2 receptors causes strong replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in this area. One of the least studied, but clinically significant branches of post-COVID syndrome is "developing or exacerbated hypertrophic rhinitis after COVID-19."
