Infectious diseases are disorders caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. According to the World Health Organization, infectious diseases cause about 26% of the world's deaths and are the leading cause of death in people younger than 50 years old. Infectious diseases are classified into: new infectious diseases which include SARS-1, SARS-2, bird flu, etc. and recurrent diseases, which include pre-existing infections with known incidence and geographical spread. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses widely found in animals and humans, responsible for a variety of diseases, ranging from common cold to much more severe diseases which often lead to pneumonia. The group of new diseases also includes Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), which initially causes a respiratory infection with the continuation of other complications. This virus is a new type of beta-coronavirus, which first appeared in China and later spread very fast all over the world leading to a global pandemic. Disease monitoring should primarily include erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leukocyte count, leukocyte formula. C-reactive protein (CRP), determination of Troponin I (hsTnI) and T (cTnT, pro-B type N-terminal natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), fibrinogen, and D-dimer levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
