Shedding of culturable virus, seroconversion, and 6-month follow-up antibody responses in the first 14 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States
2021
Journal of Infectious Diseases
We aimed to characterize presence of culturable virus in clinical specimens during acute illness, and antibody kinetics up to six months post-onset, among 14 early US COVID-19 patients. We isolated viable SARS-CoV-2 from rRT-PCR-positive respiratory specimens collected during days 0-8 post-onset, but not after. All 13 patients with two or more serum specimens developed anti-spike antibodies; 12 developed detectable neutralizing antibodies. We did not isolate virus after detection of
