FRAGMENTO
Los primeros casos de neumonía por un nuevo coronavirus, hoy denominado
SARS-CoV-2, y su entidad nosológica COVID-19, se reportaron
en Wuhan, China, a finales de 2019. Adquirió rápidamente el título
de pandemia por su distribución por el globo terráqueo en cuestión
de días, actualmente ha llegado a afectar a más de 20 millones de
personas en 188 países y con casi 800,000 defunciones, siendo una
enfermedad aún sin un tratamiento específico y sin una vacuna que
asegure inmunidad. Siendo una enfermedad nueva, emparentada con
los coronavirus pandémicos SARS-CoV-1 y MERS CoV, que condicionan
cuadros neumónicos graves con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda y
elevada mortalidad, la preocupación mundial fue tener un tratamiento
efectivo contra dichas manifestaciones intentando evitar la mayor morbilidad
y mortalidad posibles.
