EVALUATION OF CONTACTS OF THE PATIENTS WITH NEGATIVE COVID RT-PCR AND THORAX CT FINDINGS COMPATIBLE WITH COVID-19 PNEUMONIA

Öz:

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the test results of patients whose RT-PCR test result was negative, but thorax CT findings were compatible with COVID-19 and their infectiousness in terms of contacts. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as cross-sectional, descriptive research. In the first group, thorax CT revealed findings compatible with COVID-19 pneumonia, and the RT-PCR test result was negative. In the second group, thorax CT revealed findings compatible with COVID-19 pneumonia, and the RT-PCR test result was positive. Data collected were assessed with SPSS 21.0 software program. The significance level was accepted as 5%. Results: Of the participants, 54.41% were male, and 45.59% were female. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of contact environment and status of being a healthcare worker and exitus. There was no difference between the first and second groups in terms of the number of contacts. The rate of sample collection was higher in the second group. The number of people who had contact with the patients and positive RT-PCR test results was higher in the first group. Conclusion: Even if patients have negative RT-PCR test results for COVID-19, they are still infectious.

COVID RT-PCR TESTİ NEGATİF TORAKS TOMOGRAFİSİ COVID-19 PNÖMONİSİ İLE UYUMLU OLAN HASTALARIN TEMASLILARININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmada RT-PCR testi sonucu negatif ancak toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulguları COVID-19 ile uyumlu olan hastaların test sonuçlarını ve bulaştırıcılık durumlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma kesitsel, tanımlayıcı bir araştırma olarak tasarlandı. Birinci grupta toraks BT COVID-19 pnömonisi ile uyumlu ve RT-PCR testi sonucu negatif olan hastalar ikinci grupta toraks BT COVID19 pnömonisi ile uyumlu ve RT-PCR testi sonucu pozitif olan hastalar bulunmaktadır. Toplanan veriler SPSS 21.0 yazılım programı ile değerlendirildi. Anlamlılık değeri %5 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %54,41'u erkek, %45,59'u kadındı. İki grup arasında temas ortamı, sağlık çalışanı olma ve exitus olma açısından anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Temas sayısı açısından birinci ve ikinci grup arasında fark yoktu. İkinci grupta örnek toplama oranı daha yüksekti. Hastalarla temaslı olan ve RT-PCR testi sonucu pozitif olanların sayısı birinci grupta daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Hastalar, COVID-19 için negatif RT-PCR test sonuçlarına sahip olsalar bile bulaştırıcıdırlar.
