A seroprevalence study of tetanus and diphtheria was carried out in a sample of 537 health care workers in Catalonia. The prevalence of protective antibodies against tetanus was 93.9% (95% confidence interval: 91.5-95.7). The prevalence of protective antibodies against diphtheria was 46.4% (95% confidence interval: 42.1-50.7). Tetanus protection should be improved in health care workers born before 1975. The immune status against diphtheria was poor, with less than half of people born before 1975 correctly immunized.
在加泰罗尼亚的 537 名医护人员样本中进行了破伤风和白喉的血清流行率研究。抗破伤风保护抗体的流行率为 93.9%(95%置信区间:91.5-95.7)。抗白喉保护抗体的流行率为 46.4%(95%置信区间:42.1-50.7)。1975 年前出生的医护人员应加强破伤风防护。白喉的免疫状况不佳,不到一半的 1975 年前出生的人免疫正确。
