Overview
History and Symptoms
History
- The history of coronavirus infection includes exposure to the infected animals or humans.
- Patients report flu like symptoms in the initial stages.
- Infected people can also report upper respiratory symptoms.
- The most important part of taking history is establishing patient exposure to the source of the infection.
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of coronavirus infection include:
Less Common Symptoms
- Diarrhea[2]
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headache[3]
- Feeling of discomfort
- Body aches
Incubation Period
- The incubation period varies depending on the infection.
- The incubation periods for coronavirus infections are given below:
SARS-CoV
- The symptoms (cough) of SARS-CoV infection start to appear after 2 - 7 days.[4]
- The incubation period ranges from 12 to 18 days.[5]
MERS-CoV
- The symptoms of MERS start to appear approximately 5 or 6 days after exposure to the source of infection.[6]
- The incubation period can range from 2 - 14 days.
2019-nCoV
- The incubation period for 2019-nCoV is set according to the observed data and the incubation periods of the previous coronavirus infections.[7]
- It can range from 2 to 14 days.
