RESUMO
The infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, recently described in Wuhan, China, has put numerous health systems around the world in check. Given its high contagiousness and the exponential growth of cases, it was declared a pandemic by the world health organization. Although the majority of those infected will present mild symptoms, a smaller percentage will present severe manifestations of the disease, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, requiring ventilator support measures and stays in intensive care units. The main symptoms described in SARS-CoV-2 infection are fever, fatigue, dry cough and myalgia. Despite this, there is a not insignificant number of patients who present with atypical symptoms of the disease, some described are anosmia, ageusia, gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, dermatological manifestations, among others. In these patients it is particularly where the diagnosis is made late, delaying isolation and prevention measures, thus increasing the risk of contagion within the population.
