SARS group: convalescents who were infected with SARS-CoV in 2003; Control group: close contacts of SARS group who were not infected with SARS-CoV in 2003. Data are presented as means ± standard error from the mean, or median (interquartile range) or n (%). ALT, Alanine aminotransferase; AST, Aspartate aminotransferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; CREA, Creatinine; IgA, immunoglobin A; IgG, immunoglobin G; IgM, immunoglobin M; C3, complement C3.
The bold value mean that P value < 0.05 and were statistically significant.
