摘要
Abstract Background In the Guatemala AGricultural workers and Respiratory Impact (AGRI) study, we evaluated the clinical and socioeconomic burdens of respiratory disease in a cohort of Guatemalan banana farm workers. Methods All eligible workers were offered enrollment from June 15–December 30, 2020, and annually, then followed for influenza-like illnesses (ILI) through: 1) self-reporting to study nurses, 2) sentinel surveillance at health posts, and 3) absenteeism. Workers with ILI submitted nasopharyngeal swabs for influenza, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2 testing, then completed surveys at days 0, 7, and 28. Enrollment and acute-illness serum samples were tested for anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid IgG (anti-N, Roche Elecsys®), and neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were tested in a subset using a lentivirus-based pseudovirion assay. Results Through October 10, 2021, 1,833 workers were enrolled. The majority were male (84%), young (mean 31 years), and healthy (< 13% had comorbidity). Through October 10, 2021, 1,833 workers developed 169 ILIs (12.0/100 person-years) and 43 (25.4%) of these ILIs were laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 (3.1/100 person-years). Workers with SARS-CoV-2-positive ILI reported more anosmia (p< 0.01), dysgeusia (p< 0.01), difficulty concentrating (p=0.01), and irritability (p=0.01), and greater clinical and well-being severity scores (Flu-iiQ) than test-negative ILIs (Fig 1); they also had greater absenteeism (p< 0.01) and lost income (median US$127.1, p< 0.01). Among 1334 workers enrolled in 2020, 616 (46.2%) had anti-N IgG suggestive of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 incidence density for IgG-seropositive workers was 0.4/100 Person ̶ Years (P ̶ Y), lower than those who were seronegative (2.3/100 P ̶ Y) (Fig 2). At enrollment, anti-N IgG titers in serum correlated with neutralizing antibody titers (R2=0.26, p< 0.0001). Notably, in < 6 months from enrollment, most workers with follow-up NAb testing (65/77, 84%) exhibited a 95% decrease in neutralizing antibody titers. Conclusion Guatemalan farm workers suffered a significant burden of COVID-19, including more severe clinical and economic outcomes than other respiratory illnesses. Ongoing vaccination programs and longitudinal serology will provide additional insight into long-term immunity.
