dc.description.abstract | Objective: We aimed to evaluate the Coronavirus polymerase chain reaction test results sent to our laboratory and the anti Coronavirus antibody positivity in our region. Methods: Samples sent to our laboratory for Coronavirus poly merase chain reaction and anti-Coronavirus antibody tests were scanned retrospectively. The polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests were screened within 4 months, and then the people who had both polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests were examined. Results: Coronavirus polymerase chain reaction test was per formed on 31 162 people in 4 months. Of which, 794 (2.5%) of these people were found to be positive. The positivity rate in the first, second, third, and fourth months was 11.2%, 1.2%, 0.7%, and 1%, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests were studied from 1163 people over 4 months. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test was found positive in 23 (1.98%) of these people. Conclusions: As a result, the number of COVID-19 cases could be brought under control in the first month due to our prov ince’s good cooperation between the laboratory and field teams. Anti-Coronavirus antibody level in the community was found below expected. There is a need to closely monitor society’s immunity and carry out more comprehensive studies, including asymptomatic cases. | en_US |
