RESUMEN
Introducción: La enfermedad producida por el Coronavirus 2019 ha impactado al mundo
más allá de los límites de la salud pública a tres meses del diagnóstico del primer caso en
China. En la actualidad afecta a 182 países, por lo que fue declarada pandemia por la
Organización Mundial de la Salud.
Objetivo: Revisar los aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos más importantes reportados sobre
esta enfermedad.
Desarrollo: La enfermedad se trasmite por las microgotas de saliva entre personas y por
contacto con superficies contaminadas o heces. El periodo de incubación es hasta 14 días, en
los cuales puede ocurrir trasmisión viral. Se caracteriza por un espectro sintomático variable,
los pacientes pueden permanecer asintomáticos o presentar síntomas como fiebre, dolor de
garganta, tos, anosmia y disnea. Aproximadamente 14 % de los casos presenta formas
graves y 5 % evoluciona a estado crítico, asociado a complicaciones como el síndrome de
distress respiratorio o shock séptico. El diagnóstico confirmatorio es a través de los estudios
de reacción en cadena de polimerasa en tiempo real, en muestras respiratorias. No existe un
tratamiento efectivo, aunque se emplean medicamentos, la mayoría de ellos como parte de
ensayos clínicos.
Conclusiones: Es un fenómeno sin precedentes en el último siglo en relación al número de
personas y países que ha afectado y al impacto en las dinámicas sociales y económicas del
mundo actual.
