| description | Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a new enveloped RNA virus known
as Coronavirus (COVID-19) are most prevalent in humans and wild animals. All four species that is
alpha, beta, delta and theta have been identified till date and are responsible for human disease;
causing influenza like illness (ILI). This virus has similar lineage of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and related Coronavirus (SARS-CoV). This outbreak initially presented as
pneumonia-like illness in a group of people in Wuhan, China. The infection was said to be caused by
seafood and unusual animals in the wholesale markets of this city. SARS-CoV-2 is highly infectious and
has resulted in a rapid pandemic. As of now it has spread to 197 countries with total no of cases in
the world being 3.76 million as of early march. The mortality till now is 7.11% . The cases have been
increasing since its first discovery in China. In India also the number has been increased. Till now
India has total of 39,980 cases and mortality is attributed to be 3.26%. As per data from Ministry of
health and family welfare (MoHFW) death is more commonly seen in males with age >60years. Among
these most of the deaths were related to other co-morbid conditions. This article will help the readers
with an overview of novel Coronavirus spanning around the clinical features, diagnostic modalities,
treatment strategies and infection control measures. It will also help in raising awareness among
healthcare workers regarding COVID-19 and aid in early recognition of these patients. Moreover, this
review will also focus on the most recent information for the effective management, prevention, and
treatment of patients worldwide. |
