Technical performance of a lateral flow immunoassay for detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG in the outpatient follow-up of non-severe cases and at different times after vaccination: comparison with enzyme and chemiluminescent immunoassays.

This study assessed the technical performance of a rapid lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) for the detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and compared LFIA results with chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) results and an in-house enzyme immunoassay (EIA). To this end, a total of 216 whole blood or serum samples from three groups were analyzed: the first group was composed of 68 true negative cases corresponding to blood bank donors, healthy young volunteers, and eight pediatric patients diagnosed with other coronavirus infections. The serum samples from these participants were obtained and stored in a pre-COVID-19 period, thus they were not expected to have COVID-19.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare various factors and outcomes in children and adolescents with confirmed cases of COVID-19, involving 149 patients from April 2020 to April 2021.
- Results showed that certain symptoms and medical treatments were less common in children compared to adolescents, and adolescents had greater odds for specific symptoms but fewer hospitalizations.
- Additionally, the presence of preexisting chronic conditions was linked to higher mortality rates in pediatric patients with severe COVID-19.
Objective: To evaluate whether thrombophilia worsens maternal and foetal outcomes among patients with severe preeclampsia (PE).
Method: From October 2009 to October 2014, an observational retrospective cohort study was performed on pregnant women with severe PE diagnosed before 34 weeks of gestation and their newborns hospitalized at the Clinics Hospital, FMUSP. Patients who had no heart disease, nephropathies, pre-gestational diabetes, gestational trophoblastic disease, foetal malformation, or twin pregnancy and who underwent thrombophilia screening during the postnatal period were included.
