Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Treatments

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.

TREATMENT   

There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for prevention or treatment and no specific treatments for corona viruses, but symptoms can be treated. The main treatment is supportive care, including making sure the patient is getting enough oxygen, and using a ventilator to push air into the lungs if necessary, Dr. Vaishampayan said.

Patients should rest and drink plenty of fluids “while the immune system does its jobs and heals itself,” she said.

No drugs have been approved for any corona virus diseases; though an antiviral medication called remdesivir appears to be effective in animals.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Diagnosis

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.

DIAGNOSIS

Healthcare provider may order laboratory tests on respiratory specimens and serum (part of your blood) to detect human corona viruses. Laboratory testing is more likely to be used if you have severe disease or are suspected of having MERS.

If you are experiencing symptoms, you should tell your healthcare provider about any recent travel or contact with animals. Most MERS-CoV infections have been reported from countries in the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore reporting a travel history or contact with camels or camel products is very important when trying to diagnose MERS.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Transmission

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.

TRANSMISSION

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. They are circulating in animals and some of these coronaviruses have the capability of transmitting between animals and humans. It is most likely transmitted through coughing and sneezing, as is the case with influenza and other respiratory viruses, said Dr. Vaishampayan.

Coronaviruses can spread in the following ways: Coughing and sneezing without covering the mouth can disperse droplets into the air, spreading the virus. Touching or shaking hands with a person that has the virus can pass the virus from one person to another. Making contact with a surface or object that has the virus and then touching your nose, eyes or mouth. Researchers found that 22 percent had direct exposure to the meat market, and 32 percent had contact with people who had a fever or respiratory disease.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Prevention

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.

PREVENTION

 For the corona virus to prevent covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, infection spread includes regular hand washing and also symptoms of respiratory illness. The World Health Organization has advised people to avoid "unprotected" contact with live animals, thoroughly cook meat and eggs, and avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.

Standard recommend a basic hand hygiene, such as washing your hands with soap and water and respiratory hygiene, such as when you sneeze, sneezing into your elbow. Ways to protect yourself against a potential animal source would be to avoid unnecessary unprotected contact with live animals and to make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly after connect with animal.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Signs and Symptoms

Corona virus is a family of viruses that commonly affect the respiratory tract of mammals, along humans. They are associated with the common cold, pneumonia, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and can also affect the gut.

SYMPTOMS

Basic signs of Corona virus are refers of infection include respiratory symptoms, cough, fever, breathing difficulties and shortness of breath. In more acute cases, kidney failure, severe acute respiratory syndrome, infection can causes pneumonia and even death. 

Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 may appear two to 14 days after exposure. In generally cold like symptoms set in form two to four days after corona virus infection. 

The symptoms of corona virus typically contain: 

• sneezing,
•  a cough, 
• fatigue,
•  fever, 
• a runny nose and a sore throat, 
• exacerbated asthma.

What is Coronavirus (COVID19)?

The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin corona and the Greek "κορώνη" (korone, "garland, wreath"), meaning crown or halo. Corona virus are comes under a broad group of viruses that belonging to the nidovirales order, which includes coronaviridae, arteriviridae and roniviridae families. In the four groups of coronaviridae are further subdivided like alpha, beta, gamma and delta corona viruses. In humans, the virus causes respiratory infections, often mild, but in rare cases potentially lethal. There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for prevention or treatment. Corona viruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and with a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. The genomic size of corona viruses ranges from approximately 26 to 32 kilobases, the largest for an RNA virus.

What is Coronavirus?

Corona virus is a family of viruses that commonly affect the respiratory tract of mammals, along humans. They are associated with the common cold, pneumonia, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and can also affect the gut.

Corona viruses were given their name based on the crown-like projections on their surfaces. "Corona" in Latin means "halo" or "crown." Among humans, infection most often occurs during the winter months as well as early spring. These viruses are responsible for between 15 and 30 percent of common colds. Over the last 70 years, scientists have found that corona viruses can infect mice, rats, dogs, cats, turkeys, horses, pigs, and cattle.
