Abstract

Highlights: • The effectiveness of vaccination through the kinetics of the antibody response to the SARS-COV-2 vaccine administration by examining IgG S-RBD levels was aimed. • Two doses of the Sinovac vaccine formed antibodies in healthy individuals in the first 3rd month after vaccination. • An S-RBD IgG antibody in the 6th-month post-vaccination was significantly different between groups without a history and groups with a history of infection with COVID-19. Abstract: Since it was declared a pandemic in early 2020, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has caused high morbidity and mortality in the world. In view of the urgency of the situation, vaccination efforts are needed to break the chain of disease transmission. Various types of vaccines have been successfully developed and obtained approval for emergency use. However, the effectiveness of these vaccines, both in the short and long term, has not been fully known. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of vaccination through the kinetics of the antibody response to the administration of the SARS-COV-2 vaccine by examining IgG S-RBD levels. This study was an observational analytic study with a prospective cohort approach carried out between January and November 2021 at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Fifty health workers who received Sinovac vaccination in as many as 2 doses underwent venous blood taking and measurement of quantitative S-RBD antibody level. Then, quantitative S-RBD IgG antibody levels were measured and recorded in each subject. The mean S-RBD IgG antibody was found to have fluctuation. The titer was found to significantly increase on day 14 and dropped significantly in month 3 (p <0.001). There was a significant difference in S-RBD IgG levels 6 months after vaccination between Covid-19 uninfected groups and Covid-19 infected groups (p <0.001). In a conclusion, two doses of the Sinovac vaccine formed antibodies, although humoral immunity obtained tended to decrease in 3rd month after vaccination to healthy individuals. The average level of S-RBD IgG antibody in the sixth month post-vaccination was found to be significantly different between groups without history and groups with a history of with infection COVID-19.

Abstract

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the most prevalent infections at birth and can lead to severe health complications in neonates. Timely detection is crucial. However, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is often unavailable in numerous healthcare settings. In such cases, maternal CMV antibody testing may assist in identifying at-risk infants. In the development of diagnostic methods to date, there is no single method for detecting CMV infection in pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy. This study examined the relationship between maternal CMV serology after delivery and congenital CMV infection in newborns presenting with symptoms including jaundice, prematurity, or low birth weight. Urine samples from neonates within the first 21 days of life were analyzed for CMV DNA via PCR, while maternal IgG and IgM antibodies were assessed within three weeks after delivery. A total of 87 neonates were examined, with 28 (32.2%) testing positive for CMV DNA. Neonatal jaundice was significantly associated with CMV infection, whereas prematurity and low birth weight were not. Maternal CMV IgM positivity was significantly correlated with neonatal CMV PCR positivity, while maternal IgG did not exhibit a significant relationship. In conclusion, maternal CMV IgM positivity post-delivery may assist in identifying newborns requiring confirmatory PCR testing, particularly in healthcare environments with constrained diagnostic resources.
