Objective: The Covid-19 pandemic is the major global health crisis of our time. The purpose of this study is to estimate the seroprevalence of IgG against SARS-CoV-2 among workers in the University Hospi-tal of Guadeloupe and to assess this seroprevalence in asymptomatic personnel as well as the proportion of asymptomatic agents among seropositive agents.
Setting And Methods: We carried out a seroprevalence study in the staff of the University Hospital of Guadeloupe.
We retrospectively studied the prevalence of anti HIV 1 and 2, anti-HTLV-I, anti-Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) antibodies, anti-HBV vaccinal coverage, transfused patients and alloimmunizations frequencies among adult sickle cell patients attending the sickle cell center (SCC) of Guadeloupe. The data were collected from the medical files of the centre. Among the studied samples (n = 331) no transfusional HIV contamination was observed.
