Resumen
En Diciembre del 2019 en China se informó sobre un grupo de casos de neumonía de evolución agresiva confirmandose el agente etiológico como 2019-nCoV según la OMS y SARS-CoV-2 según el Comité Internacional de Taxonomía de Virus, denominándose luego la enfermedad como COVID – 19. El espectro clínico varía desde formas asintomáticas o paucisintomáticas hasta afecciones clínicas severas con manifestaciones multiorgánicas en términos de sepsis, shock séptico y síndrome de disfunción orgánica múltiple (MODS) que requieren apoyo en unidad de cuidados intensivos. El trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) es una enfermedad mental caracterizada por exposición a evento(s) traumático(s) asociado a síntomas intrusivos, conductas evitativas, alteraciones negativas cognitivas y del estado de ánimo e hiperexcitación fisiológica asociadas al suceso. Previamente se ha evaluado su prevalencia en población susceptible durante epidemias previas, por esto es importante medir la frecuencia de esto en el curso de la pandemia actual de COVID-19.
In December 2019 in China, a group of cases of pneumonia with aggressive evolution was reported, confirming the etiological agent as 2019-nCoV according to the WHO and SARS-CoV-2 according to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, later calling the disease COVID - 19. The clinical spectrum varies from asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic forms to severe clinical conditions with multi-organ manifestations in terms of sepsis, septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) that require support in the intensive care unit. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental illness characterized by exposure to traumatic event (s) associated with intrusive symptoms, avoidance behaviors, negative cognitive and mood disturbances, and physiological hyperarousal associated with the event. Its prevalence in a susceptible population during previous epidemics has previously been evaluated, so it is important to measure the frequency of this in the course of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
