U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for detaining unauthorized aliens during immigration proceedings. During 2014 to 2015, adult ICE detainees at a California facility were invited to complete a survey concerning self-reported varicella history and risk factors. Participants underwent serological testing for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) IgG; susceptible individuals were offered varicella vaccination. Among 400 detainees with available serology results, 48 (12%) were susceptible to varicella. Self-reported varicella history was negatively associated with susceptibility (adjusted odds ratio = 0.16; 95% confidence interval [0.07, 0.35]). Among 196 detainees reporting a positive history, 95% had VZV IgG levels suggestive of varicella immunity. Among 44 susceptible detainees offered vaccination, 86% accepted. Given relatively high varicella susceptibility, targeted screening and vaccination among ICE detainees lacking a positive history might reduce varicella transmission risks.
美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)负责在移民程序中拘留未经授权的外国人。在2014年至2015年期间,加利福尼亚州一家设施中的成年ICE被拘留者受邀完成一项关于自我报告的水痘病史和风险因素的调查。参与者接受了水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV)IgG的血清学检测;对易感个体提供了水痘疫苗接种。在400名有可用血清学结果的被拘留者中,48人(12%)对水痘易感。自我报告的水痘病史与易感性呈负相关(调整后的优势比=0.16;95%置信区间[0.07,0.35])。在196名报告有阳性病史的被拘留者中,95%的人VZV IgG水平表明具有水痘免疫力。在44名被提供疫苗接种的易感被拘留者中,86%接受了接种。鉴于水痘易感性相对较高,对没有阳性病史的ICE被拘留者进行有针对性的筛查和疫苗接种可能会降低水痘传播风险。
