Serum samples were obtained from healthcare workers 5 weeks after exposure to an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). A sensitive dot blot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, complemented by a specific neutralization test, shows that only persons in whom probable SARS was diagnosed had specific antibodies and suggests that subclinical SARS is not an important feature of the disease.
在医护人员接触严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)疫情爆发5周后采集血清样本。一种灵敏的斑点印迹酶联免疫吸附测定法,辅以特异性中和试验,结果显示只有被诊断为可能感染SARS的人员才有特异性抗体,这表明亚临床SARS并非该疾病的一个重要特征。
