Abstract
- We studied the impact of socioeconomic level on the anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2‐antibodies prevalence in an Egyptian cohort. The low socioeconomic standard group (LSS) included 51 humans, 30 females (F) and 21 males (M). The high socioeconomic standard group (HSS) included 55 subjects, 24 F and 31 M. Of the 30 LSSF, 6 were immunoglobulin M (IgM), 21 immunoglobulin G (IgG), and 6 double positive. Of the 21 LSSM, 5 were IgM, 12 IgG, and 5 double positive. Of the 24 HSSF, 6 were IgM, 11 IgG, and 5 double positive. Of the 31 HSSM, 6 were IgM, 14 IgG, and 4 double positive. Of the 51 LSS humans, 26 were symptomatic (S) and 25 asymptomatic (AS). Of the 26 S, 20 were IgG and 8 IgM/IgG double positive. Of the 25 AS, 13 were IgG and 3 IgM/IgG double positive. Of the 55 HSS humans, 38 were S and 17 AS. Of the 38S, 24 were IgG and 11 IgM positive of whom, 9 were double positive. Of the 17 AS, one was IgG and one IgM positive. The IgM prevalence was higher among the HSS humans. The IgG prevalence was significantly higher among the LSS humans. In the two different socioeconomic standards, the prevalence of either IgM or IgG was higher among F. An inverse correlation was observed between age and the anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2‐antibodies prevalence except for LSSF‐IgG and LSSM‐IgM. In conclusion, socioeconomic standard, gender, and age impact humoral responses to SARS‐CoV‐2 with a clear heterogeneity in individualized responses to the infection in terms of symptoms.<br />Highlights Socioeconomic standard, gender, and age impact humoral responses to SARS‐CoV‐2 with a clear heterogeneity in individualized responses to the infection in terms of symptoms.
