In the recent two decades, three global viral infectious diseases, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS), and coronavirus disease (COVID-19), have occurred worldwide. SARS occurred in November 2002, causing 8096 infected cases, as well as 774 deaths. MERS occurred in June, 2012, causing 2519 confirmed cases, along with 866 associated deaths. COVID-19 occurred in December 2019, as of 30 April 2020, a total of 3,024,059 clinical cases have been reported, including 208,112 deaths. Healthcare workers (HCWs) need to be in close contact with these virus-infected patients and their contaminated environments at work, thus leading to be infected in some of them, even a few of them are died in line of duty. In this review, we summarized the infection status of HCWs during the outbreak of SARS, MERS and COVID-19, with in-depth discussion, hoping to provoke sufficient attention to the HCWs infection status by more people.
在最近的二十年中,发生了三种全球性的病毒性传染病:严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)、中东呼吸综合征(MERS)和冠状病毒病(COVID-19)。SARS 于 2002 年 11 月爆发,造成 8096 例感染和 774 例死亡。MERS 于 2012 年 6 月爆发,确诊病例为 2519 例,相关死亡 866 例。COVID-19 于 2019 年 12 月爆发,截至 2020 年 4 月 30 日,共报告了 3024059 例临床病例,包括 208112 例死亡。医护人员(HCWs)在工作中需要与这些病毒感染的患者及其受污染的环境密切接触,因此导致他们中的一些人感染,甚至有少数人因公殉职。在这篇综述中,我们总结了 SARS、MERS 和 COVID-19 爆发期间 HCWs 的感染状况,并进行了深入讨论,希望引起更多人对 HCWs 感染状况的充分关注。
