For these findings, the research team prepared a specific and multipurpose Covid-19 serology test at home. They then monitored the antibody levels of more than 300 Covid patients in hospitals, health workers, and more than 200 volunteers who had recovered from Covid.
Study results cross-sectional These six months represent a classic pattern of rapid increases in antibody levels in the first three weeks after symptoms of Covid are discovered. As expected, there was a decline to the intermediate level thereafter.
“In this initial response phase, on average men produce more antibodies than women. But the levels are balanced during the resolution phase and similar between the sexes in the months following Covid infection,” said Veldhoen.
