Abstract

COVID-19 salgını ilk olarak 2019 yılında Çin’de başlamıştır. SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün neden olduğu bu hastalık kısa süre içinde bir pandemi haline gelmiştir. COVID-19’un beraberinde getirdiği toplumsal problemler, bu hastalıkla ilgili temel ve kanıta dayalı bilgilere yönelik çok sayıda soru gündeme getirmiştir. COVID-19 ile ilgili aşı ve tedavi çalışmaları artan hızda devam etmektedir. Bu makalede, COVID-19’un virolojisi, immünolojisi, tanısı, komorbiditeleri, epidemiyolojisi, tedavisi ve aşı geliştirme çalışmaları hakkında bazı sorular cevaplanmıştır.

2 Years in the Shadow of the Pandemic: COVID-19 with Questions

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak first started in China in 2019. This disease, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, soon became a pandemic. The social problems brought about by COVID-19 have raised many questions about basic and evidence-based information about this disease. Vaccine and treatment studies related to COVID-19 continue at an increasing rate. In this article, some questions about the virology, immunology, diagnosis, comorbidities, epidemiology, treatment and vaccine development studies of COVID-19 are answered.

Keywords

COVID-19, epidemiology, SARS-CoV-2, vaccine, virology
