ABSTRACT
Introduction: Coronaviruses are rounded and pleomorphic virions. The shell has two S and M viral glycoprotein structures.Objective: To describe the essential theoretical bases on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Method: A bibliographic review was carried out in Bibliomed databases, in the Ministry of Health of the government of Spain, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, and in reports from the World Health Organization, from January to February 2020. The review focused on the concept, characteristics, exposed and vulnerable population, symptoms, prevention, control and treatment measures for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The keywords were used for this review were coronavirus, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis. The languages consulted were Spanish and English. Sixty articles published from 2017 to 2020 were selected.
Results: A monograph on SARS-CoV-2 infection was prepared, with the following nuclei of knowledge: concept, characteristics, exposed and vulnerable population, symptoms, prevention, control and treatment measures.
Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of coronavirus that produces COVID-19 disease. It has an incubation period of 2 to 14 days. All persons are vulnerable to contracting the disease. It is more frequent in young adults and there is a high mortality in the elderly. It is diagnosed through sampling of nasopharyngeal exudate and the polymerase chain reaction. Its clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic to multi-organ dysfunction. There is no effective treatment, except for isolation and sanitary hygiene measures.
