Newest firstSARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence surveys provide critical information to assess the burden of COVID-19, describe population immunity, and guide public health strategies. Early in the pandemic, most of these surveys were conducted within high-income countries, leaving significant knowledge gaps in low-and middle-income (LMI) countries. To address this gap, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is suppo…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundAgainst the background of the current COVID-19 infection dynamics with the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC), above all the Omicron VOC, the immunity of healthcare workers (HCWs) against SARS-CoV-2 continues to be of high importance. Vaccination plays a central role in reducing the severity and potentially the spread of the disease. In healthcare, this is important to prevent disease-r…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundThe Grand Hopital de Charleroi is a large non-academic Belgian hospital that treated a large number of COVID-19 inpatients. In the context of this pandemic, all professions-combined healthcare workers (HCWs), and not only direct caregivers, are a frontline workforce in contact with suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases and seem to be a high-risk group for exposure. The aim of our study was to estimate t…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundSeroprevalence studies of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) assess the degree of undetected transmission in the community. Different groups, such as healthcare workers (HCWs), garment workers, and others, are deemed vulnerable due to their workplace hazards and immense responsibility. PurposeThe present study was conducted to estimate the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody (IgG) and its associa…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundThe impact of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on healthcare workers (HCWs) has been under-evaluated in Central America. We performed a seroepidemiological survey at a tertiary healthcare facility in El Salvador, where a large number of confirmed and far more suspected cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected HCWs had been documented during the first wave of…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundCOVID-19 pandemic has a devastating impact on the economies and health care system of sub-Saharan Africa. Healthcare workers (HWs), the main actors of the health system, are at higher-risk because of their occupation. Serology-based estimates of SARS-CoV-2 infection among HWs represent a measure of HWs exposure to the virus and a guide to the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in the community. This information is…
