  connective tissue disease-associated lung diseases.
  Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) can affect all compartments of the lungs, including airways, alveoli, interstitium, vessels, and pleura.
  CTD-associated lung diseases (CTD-LDs) may present as diffuse lung disease or as focal lesions, and there is significant heterogeneity between the individual CTDs in their clinical and pathological manifestations.
  CTD-LDs may presage the clinical diagnosis a primary CTD, or it may develop in the (...)

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus WKP
  Definition : Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV) is a species of coronavirus that infects humans, bats and certain other mammals.[2][3] It is an enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that enters its host cell by binding to the ACE2 receptor. It is a member of the genus Betacoronavirus and subgenus Sarbecoronavirus.
  Two strains of the virus have caused outbreaks of severe respiratory (...)

  Definition : Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
  The disease was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–2020 coronavirus pandemic.
  The pathological findings of human SARS‐CoV‐2 infection have been limited (...)

  WKP
  Definition : Alphacoronaviruses (Alpha-CoV) are the first of the four genera, Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, and Deltacoronavirus in the subfamily Coronavirinae of the family Coronaviridae.
  Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that include both human and zoonotic species.
  Within this subfamily, viruses have spherical virions with club-shaped surface projections and a core shell. The name is from the Latin corona, meaning crown, which describes the (...)

  WKP
  Definition : Betacoronaviruses (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) are one of four genera of coronaviruses of the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae in the family Coronaviridae, of the order Nidovirales.
  Betacoronaviruses are enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of zoonotic origin. The coronavirus genera are each composed of varying viral lineages with the betacoronavirus genus containing four such lineages. In older literature, this genus is also known as group 2 coronaviruses.
  The (...)

  MERS WKP
  Definition : Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), also known as camel flu, is a viral respiratory infection caused by the MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
  Symptoms may range from mild to severe. They include fever, cough, diarrhea and shortness of breath. Disease is typically more severe in those with other health problems. Mortality is about one-third of diagnosed cases.
  MERS-CoV is a betacoronavirus derived from bats. Camels have been shown to have antibodies to MERS-CoV (...)

  WKP
  Definition : Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), previously known by the provisional name 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus.
  It is contagious in humans and is the cause of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that was designated a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO), and a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
  SARS-CoV-2 has (...)
