  • 新冠肺炎(COVID-19)在全球的快速扩散和大流行,要求我们更加深入地认识该疾病的免疫学特征,包括基本免疫指标出现的时序。本研究纳入了88名来自武汉的新冠病例,其确诊时间为2020年一至二月,包括32名临床分型为重型/危重型的病例和56名轻型/普通型病例。病例平均年龄56.43岁、年龄范围17至83岁、男女性别比为43:45。我们使用商用试剂检测了病例呼吸道标本的新冠病毒核酸,使用磁微粒化学发光法检测了其血样中的新冠IgM和IgG抗体水平,并分析其与疾病严重程度的相关性。血清学与核酸联合检测在88名病例中确认了84名新冠感染阳性者,阳性率为95.45%,显著高于单纯核酸检测(73.86%)或单纯血清学检测(65.91%)(P < 0.001)。我们进一步分析了新冠抗体反应的时间顺序,结果显示血清抗体转换始于症状出现后的第五天,且IgG抗体出现早于IgM。对不同临床分型病例的比较显示较早的血清抗体转换和高抗体水平可能与较轻的临床症状有关。以上结果支持在常规新冠感染诊断中应用血清-核酸联合检测,同时也为理解不同临床分型病例间抗体反应的差别提供了证据。

  • The immense patient number caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic brings the urge for more knowledge about its immunological features, including the profile of basic immune parameters. In this study, eighty-eight reported COVID-19 patients in Wuhan were recruited from January to February, 2020, including 32 severe/critical cases and 56 mild/moderate cases. Their mean age was 56.43 years (range 17-83) and gender ratio (male/female) was 43:45. We tested SARS-CoV-2 RNA with commercial kits, investigated the level of serologic IgM and IgG antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassays, and compared the results of serologic tests and nucleic acid test (NAT). Among 88 patients, 95.45% were confirmed as positive by the combination of NAT and antibody test, which was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than by single nucleic acid test (73.86%) or serologic test (65.91%). Then the correlation between temporal profile and the level of antibody response was analyzed. It showed that seroconversion started on day 5 after disease onset and IgG level was rose earlier than IgM. Comparison between patients with different disease severity suggested early seroconversion and high antibody titer were linked with less severe clinical symptoms. These results supported the combination of serologic testing and NAT in routine COVID-19 diagnosis and provided evidence on the temporal profile of antibody response in patients with different disease severity.

    Abstract: The immense patient number caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic brings the urge for more knowledge about its immunological features, including the profile of basic immune parameters. In this study, eighty-eight reported COVID-19 patients in Wuhan were recruited from January to February, 2020, including 32 severe/critical cases and 56 mild/moderate cases. Their mean age was 56.43 years (range 17-83) and gender ratio (male/female) was 43:45. We tested SARS-CoV-2 RNA with commercial kits, investigated the level of serologic IgM and IgG antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassays, and compared the results of serologic tests and nucleic acid test (NAT). Among 88 patients, 95.45% were confirmed as positive by the combination of NAT and antibody test, which was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than by single nucleic acid test (73.86%) or serologic test (65.91%).
