| 4 | Transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 via fecal-oral:Current knowledge显示文摘The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)has resulted in more than 93 million cases and 2 million deaths in the world.SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract infection and its main clinical manifestations such as cough and shortness of breath are well known to the scientific community.However,a growing number of studies have reported SARS-CoV-2-related gastrointestinal involvement based on clinical manifestations,such as diarrhea,nausea,vomiting,and abdominal pain as well as on the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with coronavirus disease 2019.Furthermore,current evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 transmission via the fecal-oral route and aerosol dissemination.Moreover,studies have shown a high risk of contamination through hospital surfaces and personal fomites.Indeed,viable SARS-CoV-2 specimens can be obtained from aerosols,which raises the possibility of transmission through aerosolized viral particles from feces.Therefore,the infection by SARS-CoV-2 via fecal-oral route or aerosolized particles should beconsidered.In addition,a possible viral spread to sources of drinking water,sewage,and rivers as well as the possible risk of viral transmission in shared toilets become a major public health concern,especially in the least developed countries.Since authors have emphasized the presence of viral RNA and even viable SARS-CoV-2 in human feces,studies on the possible fecal-oral coronavirus disease 2019 transmission become essential to understand better the dynamics of its transmission and,then,to reinforce preventive measures against this infection,leading to a more satisfactory control of the incidence of the infection. | Filipe Antônio França da Silva Breno Bittencourt de Brito Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Hanna Santos Marques Ronaldo Teixeira da Silva Júnior Lorena Sousa de Carvalho Samuel de Sousa Cruz Gabriel Reis Rocha Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Kathlen Coutinho de Souza Rebeca Gabrielle Almeida Maciel Daiana Silva Lopes Natália Oliveira e Silva Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2021，9，28： | 0 |
