TextSentencer_T5 401-646 Sentence denotes Although related to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), COVID-19 shows some peculiar pathogenetic, epidemiological and clinical features which have not been completely understood to date.
TextSentencer_T6 647-658 Sentence denotes OBJECTIVES:
TextSentencer_T7 659-791 Sentence denotes We provide a review of the differences in terms of pathogenesis, epidemiology and clinical features between COVID-19, SARS and MERS.
