At the end of 2019 a novel virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing severe acute respiratory syndrome expanded globally from Wuhan, China. In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the SARS-Cov-2 virus a global pandemic. We performed a narrative review to describe existing literature with regard to Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and future perspective. MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus databases were searched for relevant articles. Although only when the pandemic ends it will be possible to assess the full health, social and economic impact of this global disaster, this review represents a picture of the current state of the art. In particular, we focus on public health impact, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations, diagnosis, case management, emergency response and preparedness.
2019 年底,一种新型病毒,严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 型(SARS-CoV-2),由中国武汉引发,在全球范围内引发了严重急性呼吸系统综合症。2020 年 3 月,世界卫生组织宣布 SARS-CoV-2 病毒在全球范围内构成大流行。我们进行了叙述性综述,以描述有关新型冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)流行病学、病理生理学、诊断、管理和未来展望的现有文献。我们在 MEDLINE、EMBASE 和 Scopus 数据库中搜索了相关文章。尽管只有当大流行结束时,才能评估这一全球灾难对健康、社会和经济的全面影响,但这篇综述代表了目前的最新情况。特别是,我们关注公共卫生影响、病理生理学和临床表现、诊断、病例管理、应急响应和准备。
