    As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposures among US health care personnel (HCP) during health care delivery and from community contacts will increase. Results from real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction suggest that high viral loads may be detected soon after illness onset, including in minimally symptomatic persons.1 Current COVID-19 HCP screening guidance2 includes assessing fever and respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat) with clinical discretion for evaluation for other symptoms (eg, myalgias). We assessed the spectrum of symptoms at onset of COVID-19 among HCP and evaluated current screening criteria for identifying COVID-19 cases early in illness course.

    • 信息名称:华盛顿州金县感染SARS-CoV-2医护人员的症状筛查 1.时间:2020年4月17日 2.机构或团队:美国疾病预防控制中心 3.事件概要: 美国疾病预防控制中心在The Journal of the American Medical Association发表论文“Symptom Screening at Illness Onset of Health Care Personnel With SARS-CoV-2 Infection in King County, Washington”,文章评估了卫生保健人员(HCP)COVID-19发病时的症状,并评估了诊断COVID-19病程早期的筛选标准。 文章收集了2020年2月28日至3月13日期间在金县(华盛顿州)经实验室确诊的HCP,并进行了电话调查,内容包括人口数量、慢性病(如肥胖、高血压、糖尿病、肝脏、心脏和肺部疾病)情况、病人护理的性质、职业和工作地点、症状史、带症状工作天数和临床结果。截至3月13日,共50名HCP确诊,文章对其中的48名进行了详细统计。结果显示,患者平均年龄为43岁,女性37例(77.1%),多数为(37例[77.1%])直接护理。这48名HCP分布在22个医疗机构工作,包括长期护理机构(24例[50.0%])、门诊诊所(13例[27.1%])、和急症护理医院(6例[12.5%])。最常见的初始症状为咳嗽(24[50.0%])、发烧(20[41.7%])和肌痛(17[35.4%])。8例(16.7%)在出现症状时未报告发烧、咳嗽、呼吸急促或喉咙痛,而常见发冷、肌痛、鼻炎等症。文章指出,如在发病时将肌痛和寒颤纳入筛查标准,HCP中的病例检出率从40例(83.3%)增加到43例(89.6%)。接受调查的患者中,31例(64.6%)在出现症状后平均工作时长为2天(范围:1-10天)。文章认为,仅筛查发热、咳嗽、气短或咽喉痛有可能错过17%有症状的HCP,将症状筛查的标准扩大到包括肌痛和寒颤,可能仍遗漏了10%。因此,为了防止HCP患者进一步传播病毒,应当(1)扩大症状筛查标准;(2)准假有症状的HCP;(3)推进有症状HCP的检测;(4)制定不具惩罚性的、灵活的、符合公共卫生指导的病假政策。 4.附件: 原文链接: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2764953?resultClick=1

Published online May 26, 2020. doi:10.1001/jama.2020.8904 Developing an approach to care for pregnancy and childbirth during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis is a priority to (1) provide safe care to pregnant women and newborns; and (2) protect health care workers from infection. A study conducted in New York City reported a 13.5% prevalence of asymptomatic infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in women presenting for childbirth.1 On March 30, 2020, an initially asymptomatic woman admitted to the Yale New Haven Health system developed cough and fever soon after childbirth; testing confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. This event prompted the development of a SARS-CoV-2 screening and testing program of patients presenting for childbirth; we report the prevalence detected in the first weeks of the program.
