Are people with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus at high risk of reinfections with COVID-19?

Rimesh Pal et al.

Summary: There have been cases of positive real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results (known as "re-positives") after recovery from COVID-19, which could be due to the high false-negative rate of RT-PCR rather than true reinfection. However, in symptomatic patients, the possibility of reactivation or true reinfection remains. People with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus may be at higher risk of reinfections with COVID-19 due to impaired immune responses. Multiple cases of re-positives/re-infections in individuals with diabetes mellitus have been reported.

Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 with IgG from COVID-19-convalescent plasma

Kenji Maeda et al.

Summary: This study found that approximately 62.8% of COVID-19 convalescent patients had significant neutralizing activity in their plasma, inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection, while around 37.2% did not show neutralizing activity. Patients' neutralizing activity declined rapidly, but SARS-CoV-2-S1-binding antibodies remained consistently present.

Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Obesity and T2D: Literature Review

Jorge Perez-Galarza et al.

Summary: Metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes can disrupt the balance of the immune system, leading to stronger immune responses in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, increasing their risk of severe and fatal outcomes.

Comprehensive assessment of humoral response after Pfizer BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccination: a three-case series

Elisa Danese et al.

Summary: The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine elicits a strong humoral immune response, particularly involving anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgA, which is further amplified by the second vaccine dose.

Antibody responses to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2

Joseph E. Ebinger et al.

Summary: Virus-specific antibody levels after a single dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 are similar to levels after two doses of the vaccine in infection-naive individuals. Post-vaccine symptoms were more prominent for those with prior infection after the first dose, but symptomology was similar between groups after the second dose.

Immune Response to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine-A Pilot Study

Andrzej Lange et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals who had a history of COVID-19 were more likely to experience unwanted effects after receiving the BioNTech Pfizer mRNA vaccine and had higher levels of IgA antibodies. Those who had experienced COVID-19 showed stronger responses in terms of nucleocapsid and S2 antibodies.

Antibody response to first and second dose of BNT162b2 in a cohort of characterized healthcare workers

Andrea Padoan et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in antibody levels at day 12 after receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine between infection-naive individuals and those with previous natural infection, but no differences were observed thereafter. There were no statistically significant differences between males and females, while individuals over 60 years of age had lower antibody levels at day 12 but not at day 28. The influence of sex and age on vaccine responses warrants further investigation, with age showing particular significance.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccine induced antibody responses against three SARS-CoV-2 variants

Pinja Jalkanen et al.

Summary: The study shows that the second dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine can induce cross-neutralization to some extent of SARS-CoV-2 variants, providing partial protection. Despite the reduced neutralization effect on the B.1.351 variant, the majority of vaccinees still have some level of protection.

BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Elicits High Avidity and Neutralizing Antibodies in Healthcare Workers

Federico Pratesi et al.

Summary: The study found that the BNT162b2 vaccine can induce high levels of antibody response in vaccinated individuals, including IgG and IgA antibodies, as well as antibodies with high avidity. Additionally, the research indicates that levels of neutralizing antibodies significantly increase after the booster dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine.

Initial observations on age, gender, BMI and hypertension in antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccine

Raul Pellini et al.

Summary: The study found that 99.5% of healthcare workers developed a humoral immune response after vaccination, with female and young participants showing an increased capacity for humoral immune responses. Body mass index and hypertension seem to have no association with the differences in immune response to the vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccination in patients with diabetes mellitus: Current concepts, uncertainties and challenges

Rimesh Pal et al.

Summary: This study summarized the evidence on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with diabetes mellitus, highlighting the poor prognosis of COVID-19 in diabetic patients and the importance of prioritizing vaccination. However, there are still unresolved issues regarding COVID-19 vaccination that need to be addressed in future research.

Rimesh Pal et al.

Summary: This study compared anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses in non-severe COVID-19 patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus, revealing that patients with diabetes were more likely to have undetectable antibodies, potentially increasing their risk of reinfection. Further large-scale studies are needed to validate these findings.
