The Sars-COV-2 virus, a mutated coronavirus spreading from China in the last months of 2019, has a marked respiratory tropism, but in some subjects can causes an aberrant inflammatory response leading to a systemic disease for the simultaneous involvement of the lung, cardiovascular, coagulative, gastrointestinal and nervous system. Therefore an internist management is advised and many Endocrinologists and Endocrinology trainees have been called to help in those NHS hospitals facing the epidemic crisis. In summary, this survey demonstrates the ability and readiness of endocrinology—in all its subspecialties diabetes, metabolism and andrology—to support our NHS bringing competence, dedication and sense of responsibility. Our response to COVID-19 is not only the best handling of endocrine patients [1–5] but also a large scale human resources mobilization that should be a source of pride for all Endocrinology Programs, Directors, Coordinators and all physicians and trainees who dedicate their lives to science and healthcare of our country.

Abstract
The Sars-COV-2 virus, a mutated coronavirus spreading from China in the last months of 2019, has a marked respiratory tropism, but in some subjects can causes an aberrant inflammatory response leading to a systemic disease for the simultaneous involvement of the lung, cardiovascular, coagulative, gastrointestinal and nervous system. Therefore an internist management is advised and many Endocrinologists and Endocrinology trainees have been called to help in those NHS hospitals facing the epidemic crisis. In summary, this survey demonstrates the ability and readiness of endocrinology—in all its subspecialties diabetes, metabolism and andrology—to support our NHS bringing competence, dedication and sense of responsibility. Our response to COVID-19 is not only the best handling of endocrine patients [1–5] but also a large scale human resources mobilization that should be a source of pride for all Endocrinology Programs, Directors, Coordinators and all physicians and trainees who dedicate their lives to science and healthcare of our country.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
