COVID-19 is a global threat with an increasing number of infections. Research on IgG seroprevalence among health care workers (HCWs) needed to re-evaluate policies. This study was performed in three pandemic hospitals Istanbul and Kocaeli. Different clusters HCWs were screened for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Seropositivity rate participants evaluated by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. We recruited 813 non-infected 119 PCR-confirmed infected HCWs. Of the previously undiagnosed HCWs, 22...

Background: It is known that the change in coagulation parameters has an effect on mortality and prognosis COVID-19 patients. The SARS-CoV-2 virus changed with mutations genome of since beginning pandemic, resulting variants have been recorded by World Health Organization. With these variations, clinical severity disease laboratory also changed.

Abstract The gold standard method in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is detection viral RNA nasopharyngeal sample by RT-PCR. Recently, saliva samples has been suggested as an alternative due to being fast, reliable and non-invasive, rather than samples. We compared RT-PCR results nasopharyngeal, oro-nasopharyngeal COVID-19 patients. 98 200 patients were positive analysis performed before hospitalization. In day 0, at least one was 67% Positivity rate 83% for both samples, while it 63%...
