Long-term COVID-19 Immune Response in a Vulnerable Neighbourhood in Argentina
Coronavirus Disease 2019Between June 10t h and July 1st, a cross-sectional design study in an Argentina slum, showed a prevalence based on immunoglobuling G-class (IgG) antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) of 53.4%. It remains unanswered whether natural infection produces sustained antibodies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of IgG antibodies for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after 5 months in inhabitants of Barrio 31 who consented the Seroprevalence Study for COVID-19.
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Immune Surveillance Among a Population Based Sample of Adults in Florida
Coronavirus InfectionThe overall goal of this study is to understand the immune response (IgG) to SARS-CoV-2 to fill critical knowledge gaps in the natural history of this virus and to inform the development of future infection mitigation efforts. The study team aims to assess the prevalence of circulating IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and the factors associated with sero-prevalence. These data will be used to estimate the total population that has been exposed to the virus (asymptomatic and symptomatic), the proportion of the population that may be protected by natural immunity, and the proportion that is susceptible. Data obtained from this research will be shared with the Florida Department of Health.

C-reactive Protein Levels Among Individuals With COVID-19
Coronavirus InfectionThe primary objective of this multi-center study is to clarify the value of a CRP measurement for triage of patients initially presenting with light symptoms of the COVID-19 infection. Current recommendations of management of COVID-19 include large-scale tests for virus. Such tests reveal whether an individual is infected with the virus, however, the demonstration of virus per se has no prognostic value for the ensuing course of the COVID-19 disease. Publications of possible treatments strategies increase exponentially, while evidence of triage of the affected individuals is mainly based on the level of pulmonary affection as measured by the Oxygen saturation. To inform decision making for which patients are to be hospitalized due to risk of developing more severe affection, this study addresses the question, whether triage may be performed with the aid of a simple CRP measurement.

COVID-19: Pediatric Research Immune Network on SARS-CoV-2 and MIS-C
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)1 moreThe primary objectives of this study are: To determine the proportion of children with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related death, rehospitalization or major complications after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and/or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), and To determine immunologic mechanisms and immune signatures associated with disease spectrum and subsequent clinical course during the year of follow-up.
Non-invasive Prognostication of COVID-19 Patients by Use of Biomarkers in Exhaled Breath Condensate...
Covid19Corona Virus InfectionThe main objective of this study is to assess if analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can provide useful prognostic markers for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to acute respiratory insufficiency among patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Additionally, to give a characterization of the lung damage caused by COVID-19 by analysis of daily blood samples. The hypothesis is that the protein content of the EBC from COVID-19 patients who require admission to the ICU differs from the EBC from COVID-19 patients with uncomplicated hospitalization, potentially providing diagnostic markers of COVID-19 related pulmonary damage.
Exclusive Breastfeeding in Infants of Mothers Infected With Novel Coronavirus
Covid19Breastfeeding2 moreCOVID-19 pandemic emerges an issue for breastfeeding.Earlier in pandemic mothers who had COVID-19 were separated from their babies due to insufficient data but this approach was abandoned due to the lack of transmission via breastmilk.However, where mothers with COVID-19 are cohorted in the same room, they still have to be isolated from their babies following the birth.Investigators aimed to evaluate rate of exclusive breastfeeding(EB) within first 6 months among mothers who were isolated from their babies due to COVID-19.
