ABSTRACT

Wstęp: W grudniu 2019 roku w chińskim mieście Wuhan wybuchła epidemia zakażeń wywołanych nowym betakoronawirusem, nazwanym SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2). Według współczesnej taksonomii gatunek SARS-CoV-2 należy do rzędu Nidovirales, rodziny Coronaviri-dae, podrodziny Coronavirinae, rodzaju Betacoronavirus, linii Sarbecovirus. Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia (WHO) 11 lutego 2020 roku chorobę wywoływaną przez wirus SARS-CoV-2 nazwała COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease). Dnia 11 marca 2020 roku, po rozprzestrzenieniu się epidemii na wszystkie kontynenty, Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia ogłosiła pandemię COVID-19. Wirus SARS-CoV-2 przenoszony jest drogą kropelkową, a także przez zanieczyszczone powierzchnie i przedmioty. Obecność wirusa wykazano w płynach ustrojowych zakażonych osób, takich jak wydzielina z nosa i gardła, łzy, plwocina, stolec i krew. Okres wylęgania choroby wynosi od 5 do 14 dni. Istotne znaczenie w ograniczaniu liczby zakażeń wywołanych przez wirusa SARS-CoV-2 ma profilaktyka nieswoista. Cel pracy: W pracy opisano działania prewencyjne podjęte w Instytucie Medycyny Wsi w Lublinie w celu zapobiegania zakażeniom COVID-19 wśród pacjentów i personelu. Podsumowanie: Naukowcy podkreślają, że wśród środków zapobiegawczych szczególnie ważne jest mycie i dezynfekcja rąk, zachowanie dystansu społecznego, stosowanie środków ochrony osobistej, dekontaminacja powierzchni, co potwierdziło się w praktyce podczas epidemii SARS.Alternate abstract: Introduction: In December 2019, an epidemic of infections caused by a new beta-coronavirus called SARS CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Virus Corona-2) broke out in the Chinese city of Wuhan. According to modern taxonomy, the species SARS Cov-2 belongs to the order – Nidovirales, family – Coronaviridae, subfamily – Coronavirinae, Genus – Betacoronavirus, lineage – Sarbecovirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) named the disease caused by the SARS CoV-2 COVID-19 virus (Coronavirus disease) on 11 February, 2020. On 11 March, 2020, after the epidemic had spread to all continents, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic. SARS CoV-2 virus is transmitted by airborne droplets, as well as through contaminated surfaces and objects. The presence of the virus has been shown in the body fluids of infected people, such as nasal and throat secretions, tears, sputum, stool and blood. The incubation period is 5 to 14 days. Non-specific prophylaxis is important in reducing the number of infections caused by SARS CoV-2 virus. Objective: The article describes preventive measures undertaken at the Institute of Rural Medicine in Lublin to prevent COVID-19 infections among patients and staff. Summary: Scientists emphasize that among the preventive measures, hand washing and disinfection, social distancing, the use of personal protective equipment, and surface decontamination are particularly important, which was confirmed in practice during the SARS epidemic.

ABSTRACT

Diabetes is considered an epidemic of the 21st century. On 11 March 2020, two months after the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease of 2019) epidemic in China, the World Health Organization announced COVID-19 to be a pandemic. From that time, many hospitals and wards have started to function as both infectious and non-infectious ones; so did the Diabetes Clinic Institute of Rural Health in South-Eastern Poland. Considering the global importance of diabetes and its prevalence worldwide, it seemed important to investigate how the Diabetes Clinic passed through the individual phases of the pandemic, and the possibility of protecting hospitalized patients against future pandemic infection. We present detailed characteristics of the situation in a ward which used to treat non-infectious patients with diabetes only and, nowadays, has been obliged to take into account the risk of spreading SARS-Cov-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) infection also. Moreover, we suggest solutions to avoid cases of infectious diseases in non-infectious wards in the future.
