Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the contact risk levels of infected health care workers for patients with COVID- 19 and to evaluate their disease status Methods: Health care workers with COVID-19 were analyzed, retrospectively Close contact with patients was classified as high, medium, low-risk or risk-free contact according to the use of personal protective equipment, and transmission levels were evaluated Symptoms and disease severity after infection were determined Results: A total of 82 health care workers were infected during the study period, and only 2% had high-risk contact status There was risk-free contact in 71% of the patients Community/ family-borne contaminations were detected as the main source of transmission 82% of the infected health care workers have developed at least one symptom Fever (65%) and dry cough 54%) were more common symptoms According to their clinical severity, 66% of them had mild illness Only one had severe illness All the health care workers with COVID-19 recovered and were discharged Conclusions: Health care workers are at increased risk of COVID- 19 transmission In addition to the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, masks and social distance rules should be followed in social settings (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Amaç: Bu çalışmada COVID-19 hastalarına bakan infekte sağlık çalışanlarının temas risk durumlarının belirlenmesi ve hastalık durumlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır Yöntemler: COVID-19 geçiren sağlık çalışanları retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir Hastalarla olan yakın temasları, kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımlarına göre yüksek, orta, düşük riskli veya risksiz temas olarak sınıflandırılmış ve bulaşma düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir Ínfekte olduktan sonra gelişen semptomlar ve hastalığın ağırlığı belirlenmiştir Bulgular: Çalışma süresi boyunca toplam 82 sağlık çalışanı infekte olmuştur ve sadece %2'sinde yüksek riskli temas vardı Risksiz temas ise %71'inde saptanmıştır Başlıca bulaşma kaynağı olarak ise toplum/aile kaynaklı bulaşma saptanmıştır Ínfekte sağlık çalışanlarının %82'sinde en az bir semptom gelişmiştir Ateş (%65) ve kuru öksürük (%54) en sık görülen semptomlardı Klinik ağırlıklarına göre %66'sı, hastalığı hafif şekilde atlatmıştı Yalnızca bir sağlık çalışanı ağır hastalık tablosu gösterdi COVID-19 saptanan sağlık çalışanlarının tamamı iyileşerek taburcu edilmiştir Sonuçlar: Sağlık çalışanlarına COVID-19 bulaşması riski artmıştır Uygun kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımının yanında, sosyal ortamlarda da maske ve sosyal mesafe kurallarına uyulmalıdır (Turkish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Klimik Journal / Klimik Dergisi is the property of Turkish Society of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract ma
目的:本研究旨在确定感染COVID-19的医护人员的接触风险水平，并评估其疾病状况。方法:对感染COVID-19的医护人员进行回顾性分析，根据个人防护装备的使用情况将与患者密切接触者分为高、中、低风险或无风险接触者，并评估传播水平。在研究期间，共有82名卫生保健工作者被感染，只有2%为高危接触者，71%的患者无风险接触，社区/家庭传播的污染被检测为主要传播源，82%的受感染卫生保健工作者出现至少一种症状，根据其临床严重程度，发烧(65%)和干咳(54%)是更常见的症状。所有感染COVID-19的医务人员均已康复出院。结论:医务人员传播COVID-19的风险增加，除使用适当的个人防护装备外，在社交场合应遵守佩戴口罩和保持社交距离的规则(英文)[摘要/作者]Amaç:但是çalışmada COVID-19 hastalarına bakan infection sağlık çalışanlarının temas risk durumlarının belirlenmesi ve hastalık durumlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır Yöntemler:2019 -19 ge:马卡尔ışsuresi boyunca toplam 82 sağl kı卡尔ış一个ıinfekte olmuş病重ve sadece % 2 'sinde yuksek riskli特马vardıRisksiz特马伊势% 71 'inde saptanmışt r英航şılıca布拉ş马kaynağıolarak伊势toplum /爱乐kaynaklı布拉ş马saptanmıştır Í nfekte sağl kı卡尔ışanlarının % 82 'sinde en az bir semptom gelişmiş行动感到吃ş(% 65)ve库鲁病oksuruk(% 54)在年代kıgorulen semptomlardıKlinik一ğırlıklarına戈尔% 66的ı,hastalığı hafiif ekilde atlatmıştı Yalnızca bir sağlık çalışanı ağır hastalık tablosu gösterdi COVID-19 saptanan sağlık çalışanlarının tamamiliyile erek taburcu edilmiurer sonular:Sağlık çalışanlarına 2019 -19 bulla masyi riski artmıştır Uygun ki isel koruyucu ekipman kullanımının yanında, sosyal ortamlarda da maske ve sosyal mesafe kurallarına uyulmalıdır(土耳其)[摘要]Klimik Journal / Klimik Dergisi版权归土耳其临床微生物学与传染病学会所有，未经版权所有者明确书面许可，不得将其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用，本摘要可能会被删节，但不保证副本的准确性，用户应参考原始发布的完整摘要(版权适用于所有摘要)。

Objective: Brucellosis is a zoonosis that affects more than 500 000 people a year, according to World Health Organization data. Brucellosis is endemic in Turkey, and it has a high morbidity. Community-based studies should be performed to detect brucellosis cases, to treat them, and to control the infection. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of brucellosis and the associated risks in adults aged 18 years and older living in Izmir. Methods: The study was carried out between January 2011 and December 2012 in 26 358 people living in Izmir. Sociode- mographic characteristics, epidemiological characteristics and complaints specific for brucellosis were questioned, and the questionnaire was applied face to face with each participant. After application of the questionnaire, 5 ml venous blood was taken from everyone. Serum samples were tested with rose-Bengal test and standard tube agglutination (STA) test which was repeated by adding Coombs serum if necessary. χ 2 test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. Statisti- cally, p <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Rose-Bengal test was positive in 239 (0.91%) of 26 358 serum samples. STA test was positive with 1/160 and higher ti-ters in 35 (14.6%) of them. STA test was repeated in 9 samples by adding Coombs serum, and 4 were found positive with 1/160 and higher titers. There was no statistically significant difference in age and sex distribution among seropositive persons ( p >0.5). The most consumed product (n=23, 58.9%) was fresh cheese made from unpasteurized milk among these people. Their most common complaints were muscle and joint pain (n=15, 38.5%). Conclusions: Since our country is an endemic country in terms of brucellosis, it remains a disease that should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of patients admitted to the hospital. We believe that it is important to manage the disease under the one health concept to control the disease. Also, we suggest that current and multicenter prevalence stud- ies are necessary.
