Abstract

Bugüne kadar hem hayvan hem de insanlarda enfeksiyon oluşturduğu bilinen koronavirus ailesine, 2019 yılı sonlarında, kümelenmiş atipik pnömoni vakalarında tanımlanan yeni tip bir koronavirus eklenmiştir. Pandemi ilanına sebep olan bu virus özellikle ileri yaş ve komorbid hastalığı olan erişkin yaş grubunda etkili olmuştur. Çocukluk çağında çoğunlukla kendini hafif hastalık olarak gösteren bu etken nadir de olsa kritik hastalık tablosu meydana getirmektedir. Ortaya çıktığı andan itibaren destek tedavi uygulamalarının yanında çeşitli antiviral tedaviler denenmiştir. Ağırlıklı olarak erişkin yaş grubunda uygulanan bu tedavilerin kısmen etkili olduğu bildirilse de virusa spesifik tedavi seçeneği henüz mevcut değildir. İlaç ve aşı geliştirme çalışmaları bir umut ışığı oluştursa da enfeksiyondan kaçınabilmenin şimdilik tek yolu korunma önlemlerine uymaktan geçer.

COVID-19 Pandemia in Pediatric Population

Abstract

A new type of coronavirus, identified in clustered atypical pneumonia cases, was added to the family of coronavirus known to cause infection in both animals and humans to date. This virus, which caused the announcement of pandemic, was especially effective in the adult age group with advanced age and comorbid disease. This factor, which generally manifests itself as a mild disease in childhood, rarely creates a critical disease picture. Various antiviral therapies have been tried as well as supportive treatments since its emergence. Although it is reported that these treatments, which are mostly administered in the adult age group, are partially effective, virusspecific treatment options are not yet available. Although drug and vaccine development efforts create a glimmer of hope, the only way to avoid infection is to follow the protection measures for now.
