Abstract

Introduction: As the pandemic continues, SARS-CoV-2 infection has inevitably been detected in patients hospitalized for other reasons.Detection of SARS-CoV-2 infected cases after hospitalization may lead to delay in taking appropriate infection control measures. Materials and Methods: The present study retrospectively scanned all electronic and hard copy records of the cases presented to thehospital and hospitalized for other reasons and then diagnosed as COVID-19 in Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Medicine,Research and Training Hospital between 01 April 2020 and 31 December 2020. Results: Accordingly, 22 cases were decided as community-acquired, 3 cases as probable community-acquired, 5 cases as hospital-ac quired, and 4 cases as probable hospital-acquired. The reason for sampling for SARS-CoV-2 was determined as having symptoms com patible with COVID-19 in 23 (67.6%) of 34 cases, preoperative screening of COVID-19 infection in 9 (26.5%), and high risky contactin 2 cases (5.9%). Considering contact histories epidemiologically, it was thought that transmission occurred to 8 healthcare staff from2 cases, and to other patients or relatives from 8 cases, but sequence analysis could not be performed. Conclusion: The high number of hospitalized patients diagnosed as COVID-19 creates a significant burden on the healthcare systemin terms of infrastructure and management capacity. It is recommended that patients and healthcare professionals be screened widelyand thoroughly, especially in conditions where COVID-19 cases are detected in non-COVID-19 units. This kind of screening will allowthe potential outbreak to be controlled.

Özet

Giriş: Pandemi ile birlikte hastaneye diğer nedenlerle yatışı yapılan olgularda da SARS-CoV-2 infeksiyonu saptanmaya başlamıştır.SARS-CoV-2 ile infekte olguların hastaneye yatıştan sonra saptanması, gerekli infeksiyon önlemlerinin alınmasında gecikmeye yol aça bilmektedir. Materyal ve Metod: Süleyman Demirel Tıp Fakültesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesi’ne 01 Nisan 2020 ve 31 Aralık 2020 tarihleriarasında farklı bir nedenle hastaneye başvuran ve hastaneye yatıştan sonra COVID-19 tanısı alan olguların elektronik ve basılı kayıtlarıretrospektif olarak taranmıştır. Bulgular: Yirmi iki vaka toplum kaynaklı, üç vaka olası toplum kaynaklı, beş vaka hastane kaynaklı, dört vaka olası hastane kaynaklıolarak tespit edildi. SARS-CoV-2 açısından tetkik istenme nedeni otuz dört olgunun 23’ünde (%67.6) COVID-19 uyumlu semptom olma sı, 9’unda (%27.3) operasyon öncesi COVID-19 infeksiyonu açısından tarama yapılması, iki olguda yüksek riskli temas (%5.9) olaraktespit edilmiştir. Epidemiyolojik olarak temas öyküleri değerlendirildiğinde iki vakadan sekiz sağlık personeline, sekiz olgudan ise diğerhastalara veya refakatçilere bulaş olduğu düşünülmüş, fakat sekans analizi yapılamamıştır. Sonuç: Hastanede yatan COVID-19 tanısı konan hasta sayısının yüksek olması, sağlık sistemi üzerinde altyapı ve yönetim kapasitesiaçısından önemli bir yük oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle COVID-19 dışı ünitelerde COVID-19 vakalarının tespit edildiği durumlarda hastalarınve sağlık çalışanlarının yaygın ve detaylı olarak taranması önerilmektedir. Bu tür bir tarama, potansiyel salgının kontrol altına alınmasınakatkı sağlayacaktır.
