SARS-CoV-2, a viral infection from the family of corona viruses, is in the news from the fourth quarter of 2019 because of its infectivity. It is probably the biggest pandemic in terms of affected population in the history of humankind, infecting 25 million already and killing close to 1 million people worldwide till writing this review. It is well known that this virus spreads and infects predominantly the Bronchopulmonary system. But, what is less well known is that a for a significant portion of the population the infection spreads to the central nervous system, renal system and respiratory system with significant symptoms. This review explores the pathomechanism of infection in SARS-CoV-2 in these systems. Herein recent information from researchers as well as clinical practitioners has been correlated to establish the symptomatic trend and likely mechanism of infection in the three organ systems.
