Topic:

  • Wu et al. collected plasma at hospital discharge from a cohort of 175 patients who recovered from mild COVID-19 in Shangai and found that the titers of SARS-CoV-2 specific neutralizing antibodies varied substantially, showing a moderate correlation with older age (r=0.414; 95%CI, 0.279-0.533), including 10 patients in whom neutralizing antibodies were below the limit of detection.
