Abstract

We determined the duration and baseline determinants of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 up to nine months after COVID-19 symptoms onset in 173 primary health care worker patients from Spain. Seropositivity to SARS-CoV-2 spike and RBD antigens was 92.49% (60.69% IgM, 76.3% IgA, 90.17% IgG), with four suspected reinfection cases. Antibody levels significantly correlated with fever, hospitalization, anosmia/hypogeusia, allergies, smoking and occupation, and persisted 149-270 days in this cohort of patients
