摘要
新型冠状病毒感染肺炎(COVID-19)与此前暴发的严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)和中东呼吸综合征(MERS)病原体基因存在一定相似度。该文通过查阅文献,比较分析COVID-19与SARS、MERS临床表现和流行病学特征,发现3种传染病临床症状存在很多相同点,但在疾病进展过程、病情程度和影像学上存在较大差异。从流行病学角度看,COVID-19传染性明显强于SARS和MERS,目前确诊病例数已远超过SARS和MERS,但其病死率低于SARS和MERS。该文梳理了应对SARS疫情的经验与教训,以期为防控COVID-19疫情提供参考。
COVID-19 has a certain degree of similarity with the pathogen genes of SARS and MERS.In this paper,we collected information and compared the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19,SARS,and MERS.We found that the three infectious diseases had many similarities in clinical symptoms.However,they were varied in the process of disease progression,disease severity,and chest X-ray and CT findings.From the epidemiological point of view,COVID-19 is significantly more infectious than SARS and MERS,and the number of confirmed cases has far exceeded the other two infectious diseases.However,its case fatality rate is lower than that of SARS and MERS.This article also summarizes the experiences of prevention and control of SARS,and provides a reference for the effective control of the current COVID-19 epidemic.
