The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is transmitted from person to person through drops, is observed asymptomatically in 70% of patients. In symptomatic patients, the viral upper respiratory infection can be seen with serious clinical conditions ranging from pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock and even acute respiratory disorder syndrome (ARDS). Studies on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 have shown that these patients may develop symptoms of mild or severe acute respiratory infection. In cases with mild symptoms, upper respiratory symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue may develop, and abnormal breast BT findings may also occur. According to various study reports, in cases with severe symptoms, breathing impairment, diarrhea, severe pneumonia, ARDS or multiple organ failure develops and death rates range from 4.3% to 15%.
