甘肃省SARS抗体血清流行病学调查

目的 了解甘肃省严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)患者、密切接触者和正常人群血清SARS冠状病毒特异性IgG抗体水平。方法 利用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)法检测SARS病毒IgG抗体水平。检测对象包括甘肃省9例SARS患者的急性期和(或)恢复期系列血清，l109例直接护理SARS患者的医生、护士、实验室检测人员、疾控人员和曾与患者有接触的人员以及978例正常人血清。结果 9例临床诊断病例SARS冠状病毒特异性IgG抗体中6例为阳性，疾病恢复后12个月血清抗体仍为阳性；密切接触者1例特异性IgG抗体阳性；正常人3例特异性IgG抗体阳性。结论 病例抗体阳性符合临床诊断，密切接触者和正常人的抗体阳性数较低，提示可能不存在隐性感染。

Sero-epidemiological characteristics of antibody to SARS-associated coronavirus in Gansu Province

Objective To study the levels of SARS-associated coronavirus IgG antibody of SARS patients, people who closely contacted SARS patients and normal subjects in Gansu province. Methods The levels of SARS-associated coronavirus IgG antibody were measured by ELISA. The material included acute and (or) recovery period sera of 9 SARS patients, sera from 1 109 doctors and nurses closely contacted with SARS patients, laboratory workers, personnel for disease control and prevention, persons who contacted SARS patients, and sera from 978 normal subjects. Results SARS coronavirus IgG antibody was detected positive in 6 of the 9 patients, it was still positive in the sera twelve months after recovery; 1 of the closely contacted persons and 3 normal subjects were found positive. Conclusion The positive rate of SARS coronavirus IgG antibody of patients was consistent with the clinical diagnosis. The low positive rate of the persons who closely contacted SARS patients and normal subjects suggests that SARS probably had no subclinical infection.
