Abstract

Healthcare workers are one of the groups at risk of COVID-19 infection. This study aims to determine the incidence of COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers in the Hospital. The research method used is cross-sectional. The study was conducted at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital (SSIDH) in March 2022. The sample in this study consists of healthcare workers at SSIDH who were infected with COVID-19, totaling 234 people. The source of secondary data is surveillance reports of healthcare workers infected with COVID-19 based on data from January-February 2022. The independent variable is the unit of work, and the dependent variable is COVID-19 infection. Data analysis was done univariately and bivariately. The results show that the majority of COVID-19 infections occurred in the category of more than 1x (>1x) with a total of 119 subjects (50.8%). High-risk work units in this study are the ICU, ER, Radiology, Laboratory, Central Surgical Installation, and negative pressure care rooms. Further analysis using the Chi-Square test yielded a P-value of 0.000. The conclusion drawn is that there is a relationship between work units and COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers.

Abstract

Background: Diphtheria vaccine coverage decreased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, which infects the upper respiratory system and produces toxins circulating in the body. The disease was fatal, with a mortality rate higher in children. This study described a case series of confirmed hospitalised diphtheria patients at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital (SSIDH) eighteen months post-pandemic. Objective: to describe epidemiological characteristics, laboratory examinations and outcomes of hospitalised diphtheria patients at SSIDH from January 1st, 2022, to June 31st,2023. Case Presentation: We reported ten confirmed diphtheria cases based on RT-PCR and clinical and epidemiological diagnosis. Of the ten cases, nine were children (<18 years old), six were male patients, and five lived in Jakarta. Based on Albert staining, 9 of 10 samples were found to be bacilli, positive-gram bacteria with metachromatic granular. Result: According to the RT-PCR examination, eight cases were confirmed positive for toxigenic diphtheria, five were a mitis subtype, one was a gravis subtype, and the other four were undetected. Based on clinical examination, eight cases were classified as severe diphtheria, five cases included myocarditis, and three patients passed away. Pediatric cases dominated diphtheria cases. RT-PCR examinations are more accurate and specific to finding toxigenic subtypes in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Conclusion: The detection of diphtheria cases in adult’s highlights concerns about adult immunity and awareness of vaccination. Vaccination campaigns and booster shots are essential, alongside continuous surveillance and accurate testing to prevent a resurgence of the disease.
