We evaluated serologic response of 42 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)-infected patients according to 4 severity groups: asymptomatic infection (Group 0), symptomatic infection without pneumonia (Group 1), pneumonia without respiratory failure (Group 2), and pneumonia progressing to respiratory failure (Group 3). None of the Group 0 patients showed seroconversion, while the seroconversion rate gradually increased with increasing disease severity (0.0%, 60.0%, 93.8%, and 100% in Group 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively; P = 0.001). Group 3 patients showed delayed increment of antibody titers during the fourth week, while Group 2 patients showed robust increment of antibody titer during the third week. Among patients having pneumonia, 75% of deceased patients did not show seroconversion by the third week, while 100% of the survived patients were seroconverted (P = 0.003).
我们根据4种严重程度分组评估了42例中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)感染患者的血清学反应:无症状感染(0组)、有症状但无肺炎感染(1组)、有肺炎但无呼吸衰竭(2组)以及肺炎进展为呼吸衰竭(3组)。0组患者均未出现血清转化,而血清转化率随疾病严重程度增加而逐渐升高(0组、1组、2组、3组分别为0.0%、60.0%、93.8%和100%;P = 0.001)。3组患者在第四周抗体滴度出现延迟升高,而2组患者在第三周抗体滴度出现显著升高。在患有肺炎的患者中,75%的死亡患者在第三周未出现血清转化,而100%的存活患者出现了血清转化(P = 0.003)。
