Core Tip	Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replicates in enterocytes, triggers ionic imbalances, activates the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, induces apoptosis, and exerts a dual effect on the autophagic process. These effects of SARS-CoV-2 lead to the development of leaky gut. Increased permeability triggers the absorption of lipopolysaccharide into the circulation, further exacerbating inflammation induced by viral infection. In addition to drugs that affect the inflammatory response and viral replication, agents targeting autophagy and apoptosis appear to be potentially suitable for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The fecal-oral route of SARS-CoV-2 transmission calls for strict and more consistent adherence to hygiene rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
