UNLABELLED
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has greatly affected healthcare workers because of the high risk of getting infected. The present cross-sectional study measured SARS-CoV-2 antibody in healthcare workers of Kashmir, India.
METHODS
Serological testing to detect antibodies against nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 was performed in 2003 healthcare workers who voluntarily participated in the study.
RESULTS
We report relatively high seropositivity of 26.8% (95% CI 24.8-28.8) for SARS-CoV-2in healthcare workers, nine months after the first case was detected in Kashmir. Most of the healthcare workers (71.7%) attributed infection to the workplace environment. Among healthcare workers who neither reported any prior symptom nor were they ever tested for infection by nasopharyngeal swab test, 25.5% were seropositive.
CONCLUSION
We advocate interval testing by nasopharyngeal swab test of all healthcare workers regardless of symptoms to limit the transmission of infection within healthcare settings.
目的
本横断面研究旨在检测印度克什米尔地区医护人员体内的 SARS-CoV-2 抗体。
方法
对 2003 名自愿参加研究的医护人员进行了针对 SARS-CoV-2 核衣壳蛋白的血清学检测。
结果
我们报告了相对较高的 SARS-CoV-2 血清阳性率为 26.8%（95%CI 24.8-28.8），这是在克什米尔地区首次发现病例九个月后得出的结果。大多数医护人员（71.7%）认为感染是由于工作场所环境所致。在没有任何症状且从未通过鼻咽拭子检测感染的医护人员中，有 25.5%的人血清呈阳性。
结论
我们主张对所有医护人员进行鼻咽拭子检测，无论症状如何，以限制感染在医疗机构内的传播。
