摘要

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行于2019年底在中国武汉出现,并在几个月内蔓延到世界各地。这一流行病不仅在健康方面,而且在心理、经济和社会方面影响到全世界人民。实时聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测的早期诊断有助于卫生系统隔离患者并防止疾病在社区传播。目的:了解新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)在医护人员中的无症状感染情况。材料与方法:本研究采用横断面研究方法,采用RT-PCR检测方法早期发现医护人员无症状感染。2021年5月,从印度古吉拉特邦维斯纳加尔努坦医学院和研究中心工作的所有卫生工作者中共收集了356份样本。根据工作概况、工作区域和疫苗接种情况对数据进行分析。采用卡方检验进行统计分析。结果:356份样本中,阳性6份,检出率为1.68%。在这6名阳性工作人员中,有2人在过去10天内在家中接触过COVID-19阳性患者。阳性率与工作概况、医院工作区域、疫苗接种情况无显著关系。结论:本研究显示从事COVID-19相关工作的医护人员无症状感染的患病率较低。医护人员受感染的风险最高,因此有必要保护他们的安全和健康,因为他们之间的感染可能会传播给其他同事和病人。

Detection of Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infection among Healthcare Workers of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern Gujarat, India
Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged from Wuhan, China in late 2019 and spread across the world in few months. This pandemic has affected people all over the world in terms of not only health but also psychologically, economically and socially. Early diagnosis by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test helped the health system to isolate the patient and prevent the spread of the disease in community. Aim: To know the prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study and focused on early detection of asymptomatic COVID19 infection among Healthcare Workers (HCW) by RT-PCR test. Total of 356 samples were collected of all HCW working in Nootan Medical College and Research Centre Visnagar, Gujarat, India, in month of May 2021. Data were analysed on basis of job profile, working area and vaccination status. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Out of total 356 samples, six were positive showing prevalence of 1.68%. Out of these six positive workers two had exposure to COVID-19 positive patients at home in last 10 days. No significance was found in positivity rate in relation to job profile, working area in hospital and vaccination status. Conclusion: This study reveals low prevalence of asymptomatic infection among HCWs engaged in COVID-19 related duties. The HCWs are at highest risk of contracting infection, hence it is necessary to protect their safety and health as infection among them can spread to other co-workers and patients.
