Abstract
Background: The main objective of this research is to learn the symptoms that occur in this pathology, since we are currently still fighting COVID-19, because of this, it is important to keep us informed about the different diagnostic methods available, which help us reach an earlier and more effective diagnosis. Various articles have been compiled to identify as soon as possible the active cases and thus reduce the number of infections. Materials and methods: This research was conducted on the basis of scientific articles and books, related to COVID-19. Methods: This research was conducted based on 15 scientific articles and 3 books, related to COVID-19. Results: The most important risk factors are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, age and sex. The most common symptoms in Latin America are dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, and fever. The preferred diagnostic test for COVID-19 is the polymerase chain reaction for its specificity and sensitivity Conclusions: As a conclusion, the main objective of the research was achieved, which is to inform the reader about the most relevant symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 in order to improve the identification of suspected cases. Furthermore, we compare various diagnostic methods that exist to date and determine that PCR is the most specific and sensitive.
Highlights
Coronavirus is a virus which contributes to the onset of respiratory tract symptoms and can progress to severe symptoms (1)
Considering what was collected during this article we can see that the most important risk factors are being male, since several articles showed that they are more susceptible, have diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity
As for the symptoms that stood out the most were respiratory symptoms which we know are caused because the lungs have many types 2 pneumocytes that act as a reservoir to replicate the virus
Summary
Coronavirus is a virus which contributes to the onset of respiratory tract symptoms and can progress to severe symptoms (1). Its glycoprotein "crown" allows the virus to withstand the conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and spread by the fecaloral route (4). It belongs to a group of unsegmented, 33 Volume 02 Issue 01 January 2022. Materials and methods: This research was conducted on the basis of scientific articles and books, related to COVID-19.
