description Objectives:. Coronavirus disease 2019 continues to spread worldwide with high levels of morbidity and mortality. We performed anticoronavirus immunoglobulin G profiling of critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients to better define their underlying humoral response. Design:. Blood was collected at predetermined ICU days to measure immunoglobulin G with a research multiplex assay against four severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 proteins/subunits and against all six additionally known human coronaviruses. Setting:. Tertiary care ICU and academic laboratory. Subjects:. ICU patients suspected of being infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 had blood collected until either polymerase chain reaction testing was confirmed negative on ICU day 3 (coronavirus disease 2019 negative) or until death or discharge if the patient tested polymerase chain reaction positive (coronavirus disease 2019 positive). Interventions:. None MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:. Age- and sex-matched healthy controls and ICU patients who were either coronavirus disease 2019 positive or coronavirus disease 2019 negative were enrolled. Cohorts were well-balanced with the exception that coronavirus disease 2019 positive patients had greater body mass indexes, presented with bilateral pneumonias more frequently, and suffered lower Pao2:Fio2 ratios, when compared with coronavirus disease 2019 negative patients (p < 0.05). Mortality rate for coronavirus disease 2019 positive patients was 50%. On ICU days 1–3, anti–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 immunoglobulin G was significantly elevated in coronavirus disease 2019 positive patients, as compared to both healthy control subjects and coronavirus disease 2019 negative patients (p < 0.001). Weak severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus immunoglobulin G serologic responses were also detected, but not other coronavirus subtypes. The four anti–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 immunoglobulin G were maximal by ICU day 3, with all four anti–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 immunoglobulin G providing excellent diagnostic potential (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Spike 1 protein immunoglobulin G, area under the curve 1.0, p < 0.0005; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus receptor binding domain immunoglobulin G, area under the curve, 0.93–1.0; p ≤ 0.0001; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Spike proteins immunoglobulin G, area under the curve, 1.0; p < 0.0001; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Nucleocapsid protein immunoglobulin G area under the curve, 0.90–0.95; p ≤ 0.0003). Anti–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 immunoglobulin G increased and/or plateaued over 10 ICU days. Conclusions:. Critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients exhibited anti–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 immunoglobulin G, whereas serologic responses to non–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antigens were weak or absent. Detection of human coronavirus immunoglobulin G against the different immunogenic structural proteins/subunits with multiplex assays may be useful for pathogen identification, patient cohorting, and guiding convalescent plasma therapy.
