A REVIEW ON PANDEMIC DISEASE COVID-19: STRUCTURE, PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND TREATMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
A beginning of life threatening novel beta-coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was from December, 2019 in Wuhan, China, which
was caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Initially virus was named as 2019-nCoV, WHO
announced the name COVID-19 on 11, February 2020. The COVID-19 was different from SARS-CoV but it has the
same host receptor, human angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2). On 11, March 2020, WHO declared COVID-19
outbreak as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a zoonotic which means it transfer from animals to human. It is a respiratory
disease and symptoms reported by WHO includes fever, tiredness, dry cough, and shortness of breath, aches and pains,
sore throat. To date no specific antiviral treatment and vaccines was proven effective against COVID-19. On 25, March
2020 the reported confirmed cases were 414179 with 18440 deaths all over the world. Day by day number of confirmed
cases increases drastically. According to situation report-67 by WHO, on 27, March 2020 showed that number of
confirmed cases was crossed 509164 and 23335 deaths globally. Within two days the number of confirmed cases
increases with 94985 and deaths 4895 all over the world, it showed the severity of COVID 19. The major role of health
related to public is prevention of disease and to reduce the impact, by taking necessary action, for wellbeing of all human
beings. So, in this review an attempt has been made to focuses on structure, pathophysiology, epidemiology, preventive
measures of COVID-19 and WHO reference laboratories to provide confirmatory testing for COVID-19, from the
studies, reports and surveys.
