Dynamics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM, and results of real‐time reverse transcriptase‐PCR (rRT-PCR) for 14 COVID-19 patients. (A) Six patients in the symptomatic group. (B) Eight patients in the asymptomatic/mild symptom group. The number in the columns indicates days after onset of symptoms or the time when COVID-19 was confirmed among asymptomatic patients. Arrows indicate patients who were still hospitalized and did not achieve negative conversion of rRT-PCR results at the end of the study.
