Article Synopsis
- Low levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S antibodies in critically ill COVID-19 patients are linked to higher mortality rates and suggest that these antibodies play a protective role.
- The study involved 92 ICU patients and showed that absence of these antibodies coincided with increased viral RNA in plasma and higher rates of N-antigenaemia.
- The findings indicate that monitoring antibody levels could be crucial for understanding patient outcomes and managing severe COVID-19 cases effectively.
Background: COVID-19 can course with respiratory and extrapulmonary disease. SARS-CoV-2 RNA is detected in respiratory samples but also in blood, stool and urine. Severe COVID-19 is characterized by a dysregulated host response to this virus.
