Correlations between IgM, IgG levels, and viral load, and among IgM, IgG, and NAb levels in SFTS patients. (A) Correlation of IgM and IgG levels with viral load during 1–7 and 8–14 days post-symptom onset; (B) Correlation between IgM and IgG levels at 1–7, 8–14, 15–21, and 22–180 days post-symptom onset; (C) Correlation of IgM with NAb levels at 1–7, 8–14, 15–21, and 22–180 days post-symptom onset; (D) Correlation of IgG with NAb levels at 1–7, 8–14, 15–21, 22–180, 181–365, and >365 days post-symptom onset.
Note: The correlation coefficient (r) denotes the strength of the correlation: very strong (0.8–1.0), strong (0.6–0.8), moderate (0.4–0.6), weak (0.2–0.4), or very weak/no correlation (0.0–0.2).
Abbreviation: IgM=immunoglobulin M; IgG=immunoglobulin G; NAb=neutralizing antibody; SFTS=severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome.
