Résumé:
BACKGROUND
During the SARS-COV-2 pandemic several healthcare professionals were
aªected by covid 19.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the caregivers
with covid19 practising at the Blida University Hospital from 18/03 to
08/09/2020.
METHODS
This descriptive study focused on caregivers who were qualified as probable
or definite cases between 18/03/2020 and 08/09/2020. At the University
Hospital Center (CHU) of Blida, all caregivers who presented clinical
symptoms in favor of covid were systematically confirmed by the SARS-CoV2
reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on rhinopharyngeal
swab, or failing that, by a CT scan.
The Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine Department (SEMEP) was
responsible for notifying confirmed or probable cases, confining contact
subjects, and monitoring their clinical evolution in collaboration with the
attending physician and the occupational physician. The data were analyzed
by the SPSS so ware (20th version) and by Open Epi Calculator (Open Source
Epidemiologic Statistics for Public Heath, www.OpenEpi.com).
The results are as follows:
A total of 183 healthcare workers were aªected by covid19 , CoV-2-SARS
infection was present in 5% of the healthcare workers; 8 cases or 4.4% met the
definition of a definite case and were confirmed by RT-PC, The mean age was
41.8 years ± 10.47 in both sexes.
The distribution of caregivers aªected by covid19 among service staª was
unevenly distributed, with staª from the medical-surgical emergency department
(UMC)
and
the
general
surgery
department
at
Blida
University
Hospital
occupying
the first
position with 10.2% each.
In addition, the distribution of covid19 was also heterogeneous within
occupational categories, with half of the caregivers being nurses and orderlies
with 50% of the cases. RÉSUMÉ
