Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine samples sent to Antalya Public Health Laboratory (AHSL) with the suspicion of COVID-19 by RT-PCR and to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the cases. Methods: This study, conducted between 18 March 2020 and 18 May 2020, retrospectively analyzed on 6404 respiratory tract samples that came to AHSL with suspected COVID-19. SARS CoV-2 specific N and Orf1ab gene regions were analyzed with Real Time PCR test in respiratory tract samples. Medical, epidemiological and demographic information of the people who were tested were obtained retrospectively. Chi-square test was used to compare the proportional differences between groups. Results: In this study 6.2% (n = 398) of 6,404 respiratory tract samples were found to be positive. There was a significant difference between the month of the test and the PCR positivity rate (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Antalya Halk Sağlığı Laboratuvarı (AHSL)’na COVID-19 şüphesi ile gönderilen örneklerin RT-PCR ile incelenmesi ve vakaların epidemiyolojik ve klinik özelliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 18 Mart 2020 ile 18 Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında AHSL’na COVID-19 şüphesi ile gelen 6404 solunum yolu örneği üzerinde yapıldı. Solunum yolu örneklerinde Real Time PCR testi ile SARS CoV-2 spesifik N ve Orf1ab gen bölgeleri analiz edildi. Test yapılan kişilerin tıbbi, epidemiyolojik ve demografik bilgilerine retrospektif olarak ulaşıldı. Gruplar arası oransal farklılıkları karşılaştırmak için ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: 6.404 solunum yolu örneğinin %6,2’si (n=398) pozitif saptandı. Testin yapıldığı ay ile PCR pozitiflik oranı arasında anlamlı farklılık görüldü (p
