Are there differences in the SARS-CoV-2 antibody response
between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients?
Preliminary findings indicate that asymptomatic and mild cases of
COVID-19 can generate detectable levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific
antibodies in serum. However, seroconversion is observed less frequently
in asymptomatic compared to mild or severe cases, and many asymptomatic
cases yield undetectable SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody
responses.33,35-37 So far, no robust data are
available on the qualitative differences in humoral responses between
asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 patients.
