Abstract
Objective: Analyze disease types and infection status of patients about novel coronavirus pneumonia during epidemic of novel coronavirus infection in 24-hour outpatient of infectious disease in a general hospital in Shenzhen.
Methods: Patients were examined by blood routine, influenza A and B virus antigen assay (nasopharyngeal swab), real-time fluorescence RT-PCRdetection of novel coronavirus nucleic acid (blood, nasopharyngeal swab), chest X-ray and chest CT.
Results: From January 24, 2020 to February 6, 2020, a total of 246 patients visited hospital in 12 days. Among the 222 adult patients, 214 (15 revisited) were young and the middle-aged young (18?64 years old), and 80.84% were from non-Guangdong province. There were 5 cases of infection A, 2 cases of infection B and 4 cases of new coronavirus infection. There were 8 elderly patients (≥ 65 years old), 62.5% of whom were from Hubei province. There were 0 cases of infection A, 0 cases of infection B and 2 cases of new coronavirus infection. The positivity of new coronavirus nucleic acid in 222 patients was 2.70% (6/222), among which 4 were from Hubei province and 2 had positive epidemiological history. A total of 5.86% (13/222) cases of acute respiratory infectious diseases (influenza A, influenza B and new coronavirus infection) were not medical personnel.
24 child patients visited hospital (1 patient visited twice), 50% of children were from Guangdong province, and 50% of the children were from outside Guangdong province. We determined 16 cases of influenza A and B virus antigen, and screened 1 case of influenza A and 0 cases of influenza B. Fourteen cases of novel coronavirus nucleic acid were detected, and 0 case of novel coronavirus infection was screened.
Conclusion: 2.70% of the adult patients with novel coronavirus infection in the department of infection in a general hospital in Shenzhen, a migrant city, were from outside Guangdong province. No novel coronavirus infection was detected in pediatric patients in our hospital.
