We compared levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 neutralizing
antibodies in recovery plasma from 7 completely asymptomatic coronavirus disease patients
with those in symptomatic patients in South Korea. We found that serologic diagnostic
testing was positive for 71%(5/7) of completely asymptomatic patients, but neutralizing
antibody response occurred in all 7 patients.
Abstract
We compared levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 neutralizing antibodies in recovery plasma from 7 completely asymptomatic coronavirus disease patients with those in symptomatic patients in South Korea. We found that serologic diagnostic testing was positive for 71%(5/7) of completely asymptomatic patients, but neutralizing antibody response occurred in all 7 patients.
