to describe the most frequent signs and symptoms of infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
this is a narrative literature review carried out in April 2020; the search was performed on electronic databases and complemented with a manual review of the references of the selected papers and Brazilian Ministry of Health publications.
the spectrum of clinical disease was wide; fever, coughing and dyspnea were the most frequent signs/symptoms, however, they may not be present, thus hindering case definition; gastrointestinal symptoms and loss of taste or smell have been reported among mild cases; dyspnea was frequent among severe and fatal cases.
considering the scarcity of diagnostic tests and the diversity of symptoms, health services should use a sensitive case definition, in order to adopt appropriate surveillance, prevention and treatment actions.
描述严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染最常见的体征和症状。
这是一项于2020年4月进行的叙述性文献综述;检索在电子数据库中进行,并辅以对所选论文参考文献和巴西卫生部出版物的人工检索。
临床疾病谱广泛;发热、咳嗽和呼吸困难是最常见的体征/症状,然而,它们可能不存在,从而阻碍病例定义;轻症病例中报告有胃肠道症状以及味觉或嗅觉丧失;呼吸困难在重症和致命病例中很常见。
考虑到诊断检测的稀缺性和症状的多样性,卫生服务机构应采用敏感的病例定义,以便采取适当的监测、预防和治疗措施。
