Official Title: Seroprevalence of IgG Antibodies to Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus in Asymptomatic Healthcare Workers After Treatment of Confirmed MERS Patient
Brief Summary:
The investigators aim to do serosurvey of healthcare-personnel who had participated in treatment of confirmed patients of Middle-East respiratory syndrome. The investigators collected the base-line (pre-exposure) serum of healthcare-personnel in a few centers, and will collect the post-exposure serum from about 25-30 centers in which confirmed MERS patients had been treated.
The investigators will deduct the seroprevalence of MERS-CoV IgG among the healthy healthcare-personnel, and calculate the sero-conversion rate if possible. The investigators will subdivided the seroprevalence according to the degree of exposure and preparedness of personal protective equipment.
