Abstract

A cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan City, Hubei province in China emerged in December 2019. A novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated from lower respiratory tract sample as the causative agent. The current outbreak of infections with SARS-CoV-2 is termed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization (WHO). COVID-19 rapidly spread into at least 114 countries and killed more than 4,000 people by March 11, 2020. WHO officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. There have been 2 novel coronavirus outbreaks in the past 2 decades. The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002-2003 caused by SARS-CoV had a case fatality rate of around 10% (8,098 confirmed cases and 774 deaths), while Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) caused by MERS-CoV killed 858 people out of a total 2,499 confirmed cases between 2012 and 2019. The purpose of this review is to summarize known-to-date information about SARS-CoV-2, transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and clinical features of COVID-19.

2019년 12월에 중국 후베이성 우한시에서 원인 미상 폐렴이 무리 지어 발생하기 시작하였다. 환자의 하기도에서 이전에 알려지지 않은 새로운 코로나바이러스가 분리되었으며 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)로 명명되었다. 세계보건기구는 SARS-CoV-2에 의한 질병을 코로나바이러스감염증-19(coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19)로 명명하였다. 2020년 3월 11일에 COVID-19는 전세계 최소 114국으로 퍼졌으며 약 4,000명이 사망하여 세계보건기구는 COVID-19가 세계적 대유행임을 선언하였다. 지난 20년 동안 새로운 코로나바이러스에 의한 두 번의 유행이 있었다. 2002-2003년 중증급성호흡기증후군(severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS) 유행 시에는 8,098명의 확진 환자와 774명의 사망자가 발생하였으며, 2012년에 사우디 아라비아에서 시작되어 현재까지 주로 아라비아 반도에서 발생하고 있는 중동호흡기증후군(Middle East respiratory syndrome, MERS)는 2019년까지 총 2,499명의 환자와 858명의 사망자를 발생시켰다. 본 종설의 목적은 2020년 3월 12일까지 알려진 SARS-CoV-2의 특징과 전파 양상 및 COVID-19의 임상 증상을 알아보고 SARS와 MERS와의 유사점 및 차이점에 대하여 간략하게 소개하는 것이다.
