ABSTRACT
In December 2019, an epidemic of cases with unexplained lower respiratory infections detected in Wuhan, China was first reported to the WHO China Office. The respiratory picture presents in various ways, from asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic forms, to clinical conditions characterized by respiratory failure that require mechanical ventilation and support in the ICU, with multi-organ and systemic manifestations in terms of sepsis, septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. The etiological agent was identified as a virus belonging to the coronavirus family (CoV) with a high contagion capacity that determined its rapid spread, triggering a pandemic with high morbidity and mortality. This review attempts to address the basics of this disease.
