Seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among Veterans Affairs healthcare system employees suggests higher risk of infection when exposed to SARS-CoV-2 outside the work environment

Derek E. Dimcheff et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody among employees of a Veterans Affairs healthcare system and found that employees who reported direct personal contact with COVID-19-positive persons outside work were more likely to have SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The results suggest that employee exposure to SARS-CoV-2 outside of work may introduce infection into hospitals.

Sheila F. Lumley et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that anti-nucleocapsid antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 decline within a few months, with higher titers associated with longer duration. On the other hand, anti-spike IgG remained stably detected. Factors such as age, ethnicity, and symptom presentation also had an impact on antibody levels.

Prevalence and Longevity of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies Among Health Care Workers

Michael Brant-Zawadzki et al.

Summary: The study found a considerably lower antibody prevalence among healthcare workers compared with other studies, possibly due to rigorous safety measures and heightened awareness implemented both in and out of the workplace. However, the significant difference from community prevalence warrants further investigation into other contributing factors.

Naturally Acquired SARS-CoV-2 Immunity Persists for Up to 11 Months Following Infection

Valeria De Giorgi et al.

Summary: This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of COVID-19 convalescent plasma donors over an 11-month period, finding that most individuals maintained detectable levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and neutralizing titers up to 11 months after symptom recovery. However, some donors experienced a decline in neutralization levels to undetectable titers over time.

SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence and Antibody Kinetics Among Health Care Workers in a Spanish Hospital After 3 Months of Follow-up

Gemma Moncunill et al.

Summary: The study conducted at Hospital Clinic de Barcelona in Spain found that the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among 578 healthcare workers was 11.2% during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020. A follow-up survey one month later showed an infection rate of 14.9%, with 5% new infections. Antibody levels, including IgA, IgG, and IgM, declined over the course of three months, with over half of the healthcare workers experiencing seroreversion.

Frauke Muecksch et al.

Summary: Understanding the longitudinal trajectory of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is crucial for diagnosis and immunity prediction. Different serological assays have varying suitability for surveillance and prediction of neutralization potency, with S-based assays better predicting neutralization levels over time.
