Resumo

Em dezembro de 2019, um novo coronavírus foi identificado e associado à ocorrência de pneumonia de causa desconhecida na China. SARS-CoV-2 rapidamente disseminou-se, e, atualmente, a COVID-19 é classificada como pandemia. O objetivo desse estudo consiste em discutir as características gerais da COVID-19, incluindo a epidemiologia, transmissão, medidas de controle, virologia, diagnóstico, apresentações clínicas e achados radiológicos e laboratoriais. Nesse contexto, foram consultados artigos publicados em base de dados com a finalidade de comparação entre países mais afetados na Ásia, Europa e América até 31 de março de 2020. A principal forma de transmissão ocorre entre humanos por secreções respiratórias, e estudos indicam um substancial envolvimento de pacientes assintomáticos nesse processo. Pacientes com COVID-19 são predominantemente homens e podem apresentar inúmeros sintomas, especialmente febre e tosse. Hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus foram as comorbidades mais comuns. Pior prognóstico está associados a aumento da idade, comorbidades e complicações. Anormalidades na tomografia computadorizada de tórax são frequentes, sendo opacidades em vidro fosco e infiltrados bilaterais os padrões pulmonares mais comuns, contudo porcentagem significativa dos pacientes não apresenta alterações na admissão. Exames laboratoriais normalmente apresentam linfocitopenia, aumento de contagem de neutrófilos e plaquetas, velocidade de hemossedimentação, lactato desidrogenase, proteína C reativa, ferritina, bilirrubina total, aspartato aminotransferase, alanina aminotransferase, creatinina, creatina fosfoquinase, mioglobina, glicose e citocinas. Apesar dos achados radiológicos e laboratoriais apresentarem similaridades na China, Itália e EUA, as taxas de mortalidade podem ser conflitantes, sugerindo, portanto, a necessidade de estudos de acordo com cada região.
