Antibody and viral RNA kinetics in SARS-CoV2 infected patients admitted to a Romanian University Hospital of Infectious Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the antibody and viral kinetics in asymptomatic/mild confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections compared to more severe patients.

Material and methods

Retrospective analysis of data obtained from adult patients with a confirmed SARS-CoV2 infection having at least one SARS-CoV-2 pair of specific IgM/IgG tests, admitted in The University Hospital of Infectious Diseases Cluj-Napoca, Romania (28 February to 31 August 2020). The database also included: demographic, clinical, chest X-ray and/or CT scan results, RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2, and dexamethasone treatment. A total of 469 patients were evaluated as "asymptomatic/mild" and "moderate/severe/critical" cases.

Results

The median time since confirmation to SARS-CoV-2 PCR negativity was 15 days [95% CI: 13-18] in asympt
