Patient with elevated anti-CoV IgG, n (%) | 140 (97.9) | 20 (54.1) | <0.001 |
Anti-CoV IgM levels at re-positive time, IQR (AU/ml) | 0 (0, 0.486) | 0 (0, 0.182) | 0.239 |
Patient with elevated anti-CoV IgM, n (%) | 22 (15.4) | 2 (5.4) | 0.173 |
CoV, coronavirus; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; COVNAT, coronavirus nucleic acid test. Differences in continuous variables were analyzed using the independent sample T-test or Mann–Whitney U test. Differences in categorical variables were calculated using Fisher’s exact or the Chi-square test as appropriate. P-values indicate differences between mild case and asymptomatic case groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
