Serological profile of critically ill patients with Covid-19. a anti-N IgG levels in patients over time since the admission to the ICU. b, c Interval from ICU admission (b), and symptom onset (c) in samples considered positive for SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies. d Unparametric Spearman’s correlation between anti-N IgG levels at ICU admission, and corresponding time from symptom onset with their coefficient of determination R2 and p value. Dashed lines indicate 95% confidence intervals. (e) Pooled sera antibody levels in survivor versus non-survivors. f, g Individual patient SARS-Cov-2 E gene threshold cycle (CT) values since admission to the ICU (f), and grouped with anti-N IgG profile (g). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. For negative qPCR, CT values were arbitrary set at 40
