Research on IgG seroprevalence among health care workers (HCWs) is needed to re-evaluate health policies. This study was performed in three pandemic hospitals in Istanbul and Kocaeli. Different clusters of HCWs were screened for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Seropositivity rate among participants was evaluated by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. We recruited 813 non-infected and 119 PCR-confirmed infected HCWs. Of the previously undiagnosed HCWs, 22 (2.7%) were seropositive. Seropositivity rates were highest for cleaning staff (6%), physicians (4%), nurses (2.2%) and radiology technicians (1%). Non-pandemic clinic (6.4%) and ICU (4.3%) had the highest prevalence. HCWs in \"high risk\" group had similar seropositivity rate with \"no risk\" group (2.9 vs 3.5 p = 0.7). These findings might lead to the re-evaluation of infection control and transmission dynamics in hospitals.", "doi": "10.1371/journal.pone.0247865", "pmid": "33657142", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC7928442"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "PONE-D-20-35740"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T12:44:13.199Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T12:44:13.341Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "1fece65878ed4f739ec8e2f82de402c3", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/1fece65878ed4f739ec8e2f82de402c3.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/1fece65878ed4f739ec8e2f82de402c3"}}, "title": "Seroprevalence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Among Health Care Workers from Three Pandemic Hospitals of Turkey", "authors": [{"family": "Alkurt", "given": "Gizem", "initials": "G", "orcid": "0000-0003-2768-4695", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/491ac6506b9148fb9c5e2bd62410410d.json"}}, {"family": "Murt", "given": "Ahmet", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Aydin", "given": "Zeki", "initials": "Z"}, {"family": "Tatli", "given": "Ozge", "initials": "O", "orcid": "0000-0002-2530-855X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/9389eb12426c472f81429aec455583ff.json"}}, {"family": "Agaoglu", "given": "Nihat Bugra", "initials": "NB"}, {"family": "Irvem", "given": "Arzu", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Aydin", "given": "Mehtap", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Karaali", "given": "Ridvan", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Gunes", "given": "Mustafa", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Yesilyurt", "given": "Batuhan", "initials": "B"}, {"family": "Turkez", "given": "Hasan", "initials": "H"}, {"family": "Mardinoglu", "given": "Adil", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Doganay", "given": "Mehmet", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Basinoglu", "given": "Filiz", "initials": "F"}, {"family": "Seyahi", "given": "Nurhan", "initials": "N"}, {"family": "Dinler Doganay", "given": "Gizem", "initials": "G"}, {"family": "Doganay", "given": "Levent", "initials": "L", "orcid": "0000-0002-2263-6689", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/af25639b93e64dea9fb8dba9032d3a38.json"}}], "type": "posted-content", "published": "2020-08-22", "journal": {"issn-l": null}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.1101/2020.08.19.20178095", "pmid": null, "labels": [], "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T09:58:45.918Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T09:58:46.044Z"}]}
