Since the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the need for an effective vaccine has appeared crucial for stimulating immune system responses to produce humoral/cellular immunity and activate immunological memory. It has been demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 variants escape neutralizing immunity elicited by previous infection and/or vaccination, leading to new infection waves and cases of reinfection. The study aims to gain into cases of reinfections, particularly infections and/or vaccination-induced protection.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the performance and establish the upper reference limit for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) using the MAGLUMI CLIA method in healthy populations.
  • Two groups of healthy adults were analyzed: one with younger adults (average age 43) and another with older adults (average age 78), focusing on blood donation volunteers.
  • Results showed that hs-cTnI levels were significantly higher in men than women, especially after age 55, confirming that the MAGLUMI CLIA method meets international diagnostic criteria for cardiac assessments.
