2019 novel coronavirus: 6 questions that doctors are asking
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently declared the 2019-nCoV outbreak a
public health emergency of international concern. Physicians and other health professionals are working on the front lines of this outbreak, along with public health agencies, to diagnose individuals early to help contain the spread of the virus.
“Physicians have a critical role to play in not only diagnosing and treating patients during times like this, but also as sources for timely, accurate and evidence-based information as the global medical community responds to this outbreak,”
Here are six questions that physicians are asking about the novel coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV.
What should I look for?
Patients in the U.S. who meet certain criteria should be evaluated as a patient under investigation (PUI) for 2019-nCoV. This includes those who have a fever or signs of a lower respiratory illness and within 14 days of symptom onset have had close contact with a confirmed 2019-nCoV patient; those who have a fever and signs of a lower respiratory illness and a history of travel from Hubei province within 14 days of symptom onset; and those who have a fever and signs of a lower respiratory illness requiring hospitalization and history of travel from mainland China within 14 days of symptom onset.
It is important to note that not everyone will present with a fever or cough. Patients should be evaluated and cases should be discussed with public health departments on an individual basis. Learn more from the CDC on
how to identify and assess the 2019 novel coronavirus.
How do I protect myself?
It is important to take conservative measures to protect yourself and your patients. While a face mask is standard precaution, patients should also be evaluated in a private room—ideally an airborne infection isolation room—with the door closed.
It is important to use standard, contact and airborne precautions, as well as wearing eye protection, gloves and disposable scrubs before entering the room when caring for a PUI. Learn more about the
CDC’s interim infection prevention and control recommendations.
How do I get the state or local health department involved?
In the event of a PUI for 2019-nCoV, notify both infection control personnel at your health care facility and your local or state health department. When a PUI is identified, state or local health departments should immediately contact CDC’s Emergency Operations Center at (770) 488-7100 and
complete this form.
For now, testing can only be done at the CDC, which has developed a real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test that can diagnose 2019-nCoV. However, multiple clinical specimens and all three specimen types—lower respiratory, upper respiratory and serum specimens—should be collected at clinical or public health labs. Learn more about the CDC’s
clinical specimen guidelines.
Who has worse outcomes?
Risk factors are not yet clear, says the CDC. However, it appears that older patients and those with underlying medical conditions may be at higher risk for severe complications from 2019-nCoV. Such conditions include type 2 diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular disease. Learn more from the CDC about the
management of patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV.
Can 2019-nCoV be asymptomatically transmitted?
The CDC does not have direct evidence that 2019-nCoV can be transmitted asymptomatically.
Physicians in Germany have reported, in a letter to The New England Journal of Medicine, that people showing no symptoms might appear to spread the novel coronavirus. If confirmed, this finding will make it harder to contain 2019-nCoV.
How do I know when to discharge?
This should be a case-by-case discussion, says the CDC. For PUIs or confirmed cases, the CDC continues to recommend isolation, noting that this is not a discharge decision, but a medical one. As more information becomes available, guidance will continue to change. Physicians and other health professionals are encouraged to
follow updates on 2019-nCoV from the CDC.
Every doctor should “get informed and understand the risks coronavirus poses to their patients and their unique communities,” the AMA’s Dr. Ehrenfeld said. “The AMA is continuing to monitor this situation, and in partnership with the CDC, will help lead the charge in confronting today’s public health crises.”
