BACKGROUND
We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Curitiba, Brazil.
METHODS
Upper respiratory samples from 1077 HCWs were tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction from June 16, 2020 to December 9, 2020.
RESULTS
Overall, 32.7% of HCWs were infected. The positivity rates in symptomatic and asymptomatic HCWs were 39.2% and 15.9%, respectively. Hospital departments categorized as high-risk for exposure had the highest number of infected HCWs.
CONCLUSIONS
Early diagnosis and isolation of infected HCWs remain key in controlling SARS-CoV-2 transmission because HCWs in close contact with COVID-19 patients are more likely to be infected than those who are not.
背景
本研究旨在描述巴西库里提巴市医护人员（HCWs）中 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的临床特征。
方法
2020 年 6 月 16 日至 12 月 9 日，使用逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）对 1077 名 HCWs 的上呼吸道样本进行严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）检测。
结果
总体而言，32.7%的 HCWs 受到感染。有症状和无症状 HCWs 的阳性率分别为 39.2%和 15.9%。被归类为高暴露风险的医院科室有最多的受感染 HCWs。
结论
早期诊断和隔离受感染的 HCWs 仍然是控制 SARS-CoV-2 传播的关键，因为与 COVID-19 患者密切接触的 HCWs 比未接触的 HCWs 更有可能受到感染。
