SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Pandemisi
Aralık 2019’un son günlerinde Çin’in Hubei eyaleti Wuhan kentinde etiyolojisi bilinmeyen pnömoni vakaları görülmeye başlanmıştır. Kısa süre sonra Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) bu vakalardaki etkenin Coronavirus ailesinin yeni bir üyesi olduğunu duyurmuş ve genetik analizler sonucu bu etkenin 2003 yılında salgın yapan SARS (Şiddetli Akut Solunum Sendromu) ile yüksek oranda benzerlik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. DSÖ tarafından virüsün güncel isimlendirmesi SARS-CoV-2, oluşturduğu hastalık ise COVID-19 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Küresel önlem ve karantina çabalarına rağmen virüsün insidansı artmaya devam etmektedir. Laboratuvar yöntemleri ile 145.000’in üzerinde kişiyi infekte ettiği ve 5.400’den fazla ölümle ilişkilendirilmesinin belirlenmesi ve 130’dan fazla ülkede görülmesi nedenleri ile SARS-CoV-2, DSÖ tarafından 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde pandemik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu derlemede SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 ile ilgili güncel durum özetlenmiştir.
