Abstract

The control and management of infection with the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus requires multidisciplinary work between specialists on all levels. This article aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge of COVID-19 from the view of infectious diseases physicians including all the uncertainties of our understanding of the pathogenesis and immunity.

Die SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie stellt die Welt vor beispiellose Herausforderungen. Die besonderen Aspekte der rapiden Ausbreitung des Erregers sowie der Mangel an spezifischen prophylaktischen und therapeutischen Maßnahmen erfordern infektiologische Expertise und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit auf allen Ebenen.
