Abstract

Objective: To perform SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) epidemiology in patients with clinical signs suggestive of COVID-19. Methods: From April 2020 to December 2021, data were collected and analyzed by the RT-PCR nasopharyngeal secretions from patients in the metropolitan region of Umuarama. Results: The development profile of COVID-19 prevailed in the elderly. Furthermore, this work confirmed that females are more predisposed to contact with the virus and consequently higher prevalence (23.4%). Regarding clinical presentation, the highest number of positive cases (38.8%) was found in patients with more than three symptoms (cough, myalgia, and sore throat). The number of pre-existing morbidities increased the chance of infection by the virus, with a prevalence of three morbidities (30%). The different variables analyzed showed a significant effect (p < 0.01) in the chi-square or Fisher's exact test. Conclusion: The easy spread of the virus was proven by the investigation of close contact with infected or suspected COVID-19 people, which showed greater positivity.

巴拉那市有COVID-19临床体征患者中SARS-CoV-2的流行病学

目的：对有COVID-19临床体征的患者进行SARS-CoV-2 （COVID-19）流行病学分析。方法：收集2020年4月至2021年12月Umuarama大都市区患者鼻咽分泌物的RT-PCR数据并进行分析。结果：新型冠状病毒肺炎的发展概况在老年人中占优势。此外，这项工作证实，女性更容易接触病毒，因此患病率更高（23.4%）。在临床表现方面，有三种以上症状（咳嗽、肌痛和喉咙痛）的患者中阳性病例最多（38.8%）。已有疾病的人数增加了病毒感染的机会，发病率为三种（30%）。在卡方检验或Fisher精确检验中，不同变量的分析显示显著影响（p < 0.01）。结论：通过对新型冠状病毒感染或疑似病例密切接触者的调查，证实了病毒易传播，且阳性程度较高。

期刊介绍： Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases is an authoritative, peer-reviewed journal providing basic and applied research on diseases transmitted to humans by invertebrate vectors or non-human vertebrates. The Journal examines geographic, seasonal, and other risk factors that influence the transmission, diagnosis, management, and prevention of this group of infectious diseases, and identifies global trends that have the potential to result in major epidemics. Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases coverage includes: -Ecology -Entomology -Epidemiology -Infectious diseases -Microbiology -Parasitology -Pathology -Public health -Tropical medicine -Wildlife biology -Bacterial, rickettsial, viral, and parasitic zoonoses
