Abstract

Introduction: Coronavirus is a family of viruses that cause respiratory infections. The new coronavirus agent was discovered on 12/31/19 after cases registered in China. It causes the disease called coronavirus (COVID-19). The first human coronaviruses were isolated for the first time in 1937. However, it was in 1965 that the virus was described as coronavirus, due to the profile under microscopy, looking like a crown.

Objectives: This article aims to bring the most current medical literature on the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).

Methodology: The publications with the greatest impact factor in  February and March 2020 were searched in Nature, Elservie, JAMA and Wiley.

Results: More than 200 articles on COVID-19 were found and 20 articles were selected with the highest number of citations on Google Scholar.

Conclusion: Until March 2020, there is no really effective treatment against COVID-19, but many medications are being tested and with very promising results. The concern with the economy is also an extremely relevant factor at this moment.
