The purpose of this review is a systematic analysis of data from clinical observations, international experience and reviews related to the pathogenetic aspects of the impact of a new coronavirus infection on the immune system. Information was searched in MEDLINE, PubMed, and RSCI databases. Some data for SARS-CoV-2 virus as etiological agent that provokes the development of COVID-19 are presented. Special attention was paid to immunity shifts, which were produced in patients under COVID-19 infection. The prevailing role of the "cytokine storm" in the development of severe forms of the disease is revealed in detail. Demonstrated and integrated into a single scheme of adjustment, innate and adaptive immunity is occurring with the new coronavirus infection. This information is supplemented by the characteristics of the metabolic response accompanying this pathology and by changes in the erythrocyte state under COVID-19 infection. Based on these pathogenetic mechanisms, potential variants of targeted correction of the disease are proposed and justified.
