Abstract：
Law enforcement officers (LEOs) often encounter rapidly changing and uncontrolled situations that expose them to various hazards. A law enforcement agency requested an evaluation by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) when multiple LEOs reported illness after executing a search warrant and taking a suspect into custody. NIOSH investigators interviewed LEOs and reviewed medical records, forensic laboratory results for collected evidence, and environmental testing results of samples taken after the operation. Two-thirds (25 of 38) of LEOs who participated in the operation reported ≥1 symptom. Eleven LEOs met a case definition for influenza-like illness (ILI). Members of one unit were more likely to have ILI than non-members (prevalence ratio (PR), 4.1; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-13.0; p = 0.01). Influenza vaccination was associated with a lower prevalence of ILI (PR, 0.2; 95% CI, 0.1-0.9; p = 0.02). Preventing employees from working while ill and annual influenza vaccination might prevent similar occurrences.
摘要：
执法人员（LEO）经常遇到快速变化和不受控制的情况，使他们面临各种危险。执法机构要求国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）进行评估，当多个LEO在执行搜查令并将嫌疑人拘留后报告患病时。NIOSH调查人员采访了LEO并审查了医疗记录，收集证据的法医实验室结果，以及手术后取样的环境检测结果。参加手术的LEO中有三分之二（38个中的25个）报告了≥1种症状。11个LEO符合流感样疾病（ILI）的病例定义。一个单位的成员比非成员更有可能患有ILI(患病率比率(PR)，4.1；95%置信区间（CI）：1.3-13.0；p=0.01）。流感疫苗接种与较低的ILI患病率相关(PR，0.2；95%CI，0.1-0.9；p=0.02）。防止员工在生病时工作和每年接种流感疫苗可能会防止类似事件发生。
