Abstract

Severe malnutrition (also intended as overnutrition or severe deficit of one or more nutrients) can facilitate, in a nonspecificway, infections, Covid-19 included. Those medical conditions have to be considered as a particular class of comorbidities. We have to open new pathways and new fields of research, as suggested by some studies on common virus receptors and human lipoproteins or showing how omega – 3 and -6 fatty acids suppress MERS-CoV and other coronavirus replications.
