IMPORTANCE Thecoronavirusdisease2019(COVID-19)pandemic,duetothenovelsevere
acuterespiratorysyndromecoronavirus2(SARS-CoV-2),hascausedaworldwidesuddenand
substantialincreaseinhospitalizationsforpneumoniawithmultiorgandisease.Thisreview
discussescurrentevidenceregardingthepathophysiology,transmission,diagnosis,and
managementofCOVID-19.
OBSERVATIONSSARS-CoV-2isspreadprimarilyviarespiratorydropletsduringclose
face-to-facecontact.Infectioncanbespreadbyasymptomatic,presymptomatic,and
symptomaticcarriers.Theaveragetimefromexposuretosymptomonsetis5days,and
97.5%ofpeoplewhodevelopsymptomsdosowithin11.5days.Themostcommon
symptomsarefever,drycough,andshortnessofbreath.Radiographicandlaboratory
abnormalities,suchaslymphopeniaandelevatedlactatedehydrogenase,arecommon,but
nonspecific.DiagnosisismadebydetectionofSARS-CoV-2viareversetranscription
polymerasechainreactiontesting,althoughfalse-negativetestresultsmayoccurinupto
20%to67%ofpatients;however,thisisdependentonthequalityandtimingoftesting.
ManifestationsofCOVID-19includeasymptomaticcarriersandfulminantdisease
characterizedbysepsisandacuterespiratoryfailure.Approximately5%ofpatientswith
COVID-19,and20%ofthosehospitalized,experienceseveresymptomsnecessitating
