COVID­19 – doctor and patient. Clinical case.

COVID­19 was initially described as a viral pneumonia because it produced an acute and possibly fatal respiratory distress. Later, however, other types of COVID­19 symptomatology were described, but also nonspecific: gastrointestinal, neurological, dermatological and even psychiatric. Therefore, to establish a definite diagnosis, a PCR test is needed to detect the virus on the nasopharyngeal mucosa. The treatment is not yet a specific one (there is no specific antiviral etiological treatment), being rather symptomatic (antipyretic, anti­inflammatory, antitussive etc.) and with the prophylaxis of complications (anticoagulant and antibiotic therapy, respiratory support, vitamin therapy).

Prin urmare, pentru a stabili un diagnostic clar este ne ce sar un test PCR pentru a detecta virusul pe mucoasa nazofa rin gia nă. Tratamentul nu este încă unul specific (nu există un tratament etiologic antiviral specific), fiind simptomatic (antipiretic, antiinflamator, antitusiv etc.) și pentru profilaxia complicațiilor (anticoagulant, antibioterapie, suport respirator, vitaminoterapie).
