Background/Objectives: Before the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era, global prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was between 0.4 and 1.4 per 100,000 people. The long-term effects protracted COVID-19 associated with vascular (PVD) risk factors may increase this prevalence. According to preliminary data, exact early estimates places PVD in patients severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection at 22%, although its predictive value remains unknown. caused by co-infections is understudied underreported, future impact unclear. However, due COVID-19/co-infection pathophysiological on vascularization, mortality morbidity impose a genuine concern—both now near future. Based reported studies, literature review focused potential link COVID-19, parasitic co-infection, PVD. This article also highlights hypothetical mechanisms co-infection that could trigger Methods: We conducted systematic (SLR) searching peer-reviewed articles, including Results: hypothesized multiple pathways pathogens such as underlying schistosomiasis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (PTB), aspergillosis, Wuchereria bancrofti, Clonorchis sinensis, paracoccidioidomycosis, herpesvirus 8, scrub typhus coupled or long burden worsen Conclusions: Further experimental studies are needed determine history COVID-19/co-infections.

Introduction: Infectious diseases significantly impact pulmonary vascular disorders, particularly in developing countries where parasitic infections remain prevalent. These constitute a substantial yet frequently overlooked contributor to hypertension. Discussion: This review examines the prevalence of lung regions communicable are endemic and highlights their pathophysiological links Schistosomiasis HIV notably increase hypertension risk these areas. While other infectious may also cause lesions, most insufficiently studied. The addresses global epidemiological trends, diagnostic challenges, recent advancements understanding multifaceted origins Conclusion: association between is significant, necessitating high index suspicion for patients with history diseases, especially regions. More research needed understand infection-related mechanisms reduce its impact.
