Background
Microbiology
- Coronavirus related to SARS-CoV
- Virion consists of:
- Spike glycoprotein (S)
- Membrane protein (M)
- Nucleocapsid protein (N)
- Hemagglutinin esterase (He)
- Envelope protein (E)
Epidemiology
- First cases detected Dec 2019 related to likely exposure in wet market in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and declared a pandemic in 2020
- Secondary household attack rate of 12-17%
Risk Factors for Mortality
- Greater age
- Male sex
- COPD
- Dyslipidemia
- Diabetes
Clinical Manifestations
- Incubation period 4-5 days (range 2 to 11), possibly as long as 14 days in some cases
- Main presenting symptoms were fever and cough, followed by myalgia, fatigue, headache, dyspnea
- Other symptoms include dyspnea, rhinorrhea, vomiting, diarrhea, anosmia/hyposmia
- Lymphopenia is common, as is hypoalbuminemia, elevated D-dimer, CRP, LDH, AST/ALT
- Viral load detectable before symptom onset and peaks around the time of symptom onset
Complications
- In critically ill patients:
- ARDS (75%)
- AKI (40%)
- Thrombosis (10%)
Diagnosis
- PCR from NP swab
- May be positive long after no longer infectious
Management
- Dexamethasone for patients requiring supplemental oxygen
- Investigational therapeutics include tocilizumab, lopinavir/ritonavir, and chloroquine
Further Reading
