На основе данных зарубежной и отечественной литературы представлен аналитический обзор о роли бессимптомных форм новой коронавирусной инфекции в распространении заболевания. Обсуждаются причины асимптомного течения инфекции. Рассмотрены подходы к определению предсимптомных и истинно бессимптомных больных. Приведены данные об основных исследованиях, посвященных изучению длительности вирусовыделения у бессимптомных пациентов, возможной тактике ведения таких пациентов в разных странах.

Based on the data of foreign literature, an analytical review of the role of asymptomatic forms of new coronavirus infection in the spread of the disease is presented. The causes of the asymptomatic course of infection are discussed. Approaches to the determination of presymptomatic and truly asymptomatic patients are considered. The data on the main foreign studies devoted to the study of the duration of viral release in asymptomatic patients, the possible tactics of management of such patients in different countries are presented.
