The seroprevalence of antibody to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in cohorts of health care workers (HCWs) with subclinical infection in SARS and non-SARS medical wards was 2.3% (3 of 131 HCWs) and 0% (0 of 192 HCWs), respectively. Rates for clinical SARS-CoV infection among 742 HCWs on these wards were highest among nurses (11.6%) and health care assistants (11.8%), indicating that these occupations are associated with the highest risks for exposure.
在非典病房和非非典病房中发生亚临床感染的医护人员队列中,针对严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)相关冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)的抗体血清阳性率分别为2.3%(131名医护人员中有3人)和0%(192名医护人员中无人感染)。这些病房的742名医护人员中,临床SARS-CoV感染率在护士(11.6%)和医护助理(11.8%)中最高,表明这些职业面临的暴露风险最高。
