Abstract

The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) is an important human health threat these days. The ways of transmission of the disease are direct contact with contaminated surfaces by direct inhalation of infected droplets and infected respiratory secretions. Clinical symptoms are similar to other acute respiratory viral infections and are fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, etc. In about 80% of reported cases, the disease is mild. The characteristics of epidemiological spread in children and the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 have not yet been fully elucidated. Children are similar to adults, but tend to resort with milder symptoms. Since the virus has a long incubation period (2 to 14 days,up to 24 days in some cases), and children can show symptomless or mild, nonspecific symptoms, all pediatric patients and parents should be considered potential carriers of COVID-19 unless otherwise proven. Hand hygiene has been recognized as the most critical measure to reduce the risk of microorganism contaminating patients. Since SARS-CoV-2 can remain on the surfaces for a few hours or a few days, depending on the type of surface, temperature or humidity, it is very important to thoroughly disinfect all surfaces in the dental clinic. The use of personal protective equipment, such as masks, gloves, and goggles or visors, is recommended to protect the skin and mucosa from infected blood or secretion. In a rapidly changing pandemic environment, practitioners should actively, regularly search and use reliable sources of information about the treatment of pediatric patients, suitable for their region and conditions.

Özet

Koronavirüs 2'nin (SARSCoV-2) neden olduğu 2019 koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) pandemisi, bu günlerde insanlığı tehdit eden önemli bir sağlık krizidir. Hastalığın bulaşma yolları, enfekte olmuş damlacıkların doğrudan solunması ve enfekte olmuş solunum sekresyonları ile kirlenmiş yüzeyler ile doğrudan temastır. Klinik semptomlar diğer bir akut solunum yolu viral enfeksiyonlarına benzer ve ateş, öksürük, boğaz ağrısı, nefes darlığı, yorgunluk, halsizlik vb.’dir. Rapor edilen vakaların yaklaşık % 80'inde hastalık hafiftir. Çocuklarda epidemiyolojik yayılımın özellikleri ve COVID-19'un klinik belirtileri henüz tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Çocuklar yetişkinlere benzer ancak daha hafif semptomlarla başvurma eğilimindedir. Virüsün uzun inkübasyon süresi (2 ila 14 gün, bazı vakalarda 24 güne kadar) olduğu için ve çocuklar belirtisiz veya hafif, spesifik olmayan semptomlar gösterebildikleri için, tüm çocuk hastalar ve ebeveynler aksi kanıtlanmadıkça COVID-19'un potansiyel taşıyıcıları olarak düşünülmelidir. El hijyeni, mikroorganizmanın hastalara bulaşma riskini azaltmak için en kritik önlem olarak kabul edilmiştir. SARS-CoV-2, yüzey tipine, ortamın sıcaklığına veya nemine bağlı olarak yüzeylerde birkaç saat veya birkaç güne kadar kalabildiği için iyi el hijyeni ve diş kliniğindeki tüm yüzeylerin iyice dezenfekte edilmesi çok önemlidir. Maskeler, eldivenler, önlükler ve gözlükler veya siperler olmak üzere kişisel koruyucu ekipmanların kullanımı cildi ve mukozayı enfekte olmuş kan veya sekresyondan korumak için önerilir. Hızla değişen bir pandemi ortamında pratisyenlerin, kendi bölgelerine ve koşullarına uygun, çocuk hastalarının tedavisi konusunda saygın ve güvenilir bilgi kaynaklarını aktif, düzenli olarak aramaları ve kullanmaları gerekmektedir.
