Healthcare during COVID-19 Pandemic

Introducao: Os coronavirus (CoV) sao um grupo de virus pertencentes a ordem Nidovirales, que inclui as familias Arteriviridae, Coronaviridae, Mesoviridae e Roniviridae. O SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) e o setimo membro da familia Coronaviridae conhecido por infectar humanos. O virus se originou em morcegos e foi transmitido aos seres humanos em Wuhan, provincia de Hubei na China em dezembro de 2019. Em 30 de janeiro de 2020, a Organizacao Mundial de Saude (OMS) declarou Emergencia de Saude Publica de Importância Internacional, e em 3 de fevereiro de 2020 o Ministerio da Saude do Brasil declarou Emergencia de Saude Publica de Importância Nacional a infeccao pelo SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Metodo: A revisao foi realizada por base de dados bibliograficos obtidos atraves da pesquisa em LILACS, MEDLINE e PubMed. Resultados: O SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) e transmitido por inalacao ou contato com goticulas infectadas e os sintomas incluem febre, tosse, dor de garganta e dispneia. A doenca e grave em idosos e individuos com comorbidades, podendo evoluir para pneumonia, Sindrome do Desconforto Respiratorio Agudo (SDRA) e disfuncao de multiplos orgaos. O diagnostico e demonstrado pelo virus nas secrecoes respiratorias por testes moleculares (RT-PCR). O tratamento e essencialmente de suporte. A prevencao envolve o isolamento domestico de casos suspeitos e aqueles com a forma leve da doenca, alem de medidas rigorosas de controle de infeccoes que incluem precaucoes de contato e o isolamento social. Conclusao: A ultima decada testemunhou epidemias causadas pelos coronavirus da Sindrome Respiratoria do Oriente Medio (MERS-CoV), Sindrome Respiratoria Aguda Grave (SARS-CoV) e recentemente o SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), o terceiro coronavirus patogenico capaz de infectar humanos. CORONAVIRUSES: FROM SARS-COV AND MERS-COV TO SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) Introduction: Coronaviruses (CoV) are a group of viruses belonging to the order Nidovirales, which includes the families Arteriviridae, Coronaviridae, Mesoviridae and Roniviridae. SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is the seventh member of the Coronaviridae family known to infect humans. The virus originated in bats and was transmitted to humans in Wuhan, Hubei province in China in December 2019. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Public Health Emergency of International Importance, and on February 3, 2020 the Brazilian Ministry of Health declared a Public Health Emergency of National Importance the human infection by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Method: The review was performed by bibliographic database obtained through the research in LILACS, MEDLINE and PubMed. Results: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is transmitted by inhalation or contact with infected droplets and symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat and dyspnea. The disease is severe in the elderly and individuals with comorbidities, and may progress to pneumonia, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ dysfunction. The diagnosis is demonstrated by the virus in respiratory secretions by molecular tests (RT-PCR). Treatment is essentially supportive. Prevention involves the domestic isolation of suspected cases and those with the mild form of the disease, in addition to strict infection control measures that include contact precautions and social isolation. Conclusion: The past decade has witnessed epidemics caused by coronaviruses of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) and recently SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), the third pathogenic coronavirus capable of infecting humans.
