Abstract

Objective: To estimate the serological prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among prison system workers in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, between August-September 2020.

Methods: This was a stratified sample survey, using interviews and serological tests for SARS-CoV-2.

Results: Among the 986 interviewers, the serological prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was 11.9% (95%CI 8.1%;15.7%) in health professionals, and 22.1% (95%CI 18.8%;25.3%) in prison officers. Positivity was more frequent among health professionals in the north of the state (19.7%) and in male prison officers (24.0%). Among seropositive individuals, fatigue was the most frequent symptom in prison agents (13.4%) and myalgia in health professionals (10.8%); and the most prevalent comorbidities among the seropositive individuals were asthma or bronchitis (16.2%), in health professionals, and hypertension in prison officers (12.8%).

Conclusion: The serological prevalence of SARS-Cov-2 infection was higher in prison officers, a finding that can support disease control and prevention actions in this scenario.

2020 年巴西圣埃斯皮里图州监狱系统工作人员 SARS-CoV-2 感染的血清学流行率。

目的估计2020年8月至9月期间巴西圣埃斯皮里图州监狱系统工作人员感染SARS-CoV-2的血清学流行率：方法：这是一项分层抽样调查，采用访谈和 SARS-CoV-2 血清学检测：在 986 名受访者中，医务人员感染 SARS-CoV-2 的血清学流行率为 11.9%（95%CI 为 8.1%；15.7%），狱警为 22.1%（95%CI 为 18.8%；25.3%）。该州北部的医务人员（19.7%）和男性狱警（24.0%）的阳性率更高。在血清反应阳性者中，监狱工作人员最常见的症状是疲劳（13.4%），医务人员最常见的症状是肌痛（10.8%）；血清反应阳性者最常见的合并症是哮喘或支气管炎（16.2%），医务人员最常见的合并症是哮喘或支气管炎，监狱工作人员最常见的合并症是高血压（12.8%）：结论：监狱工作人员感染 SARS-Cov-2 的血清学流行率较高，这一发现有助于在这种情况下采取疾病控制和预防行动。
