Stringent thresholds in SARS-CoV-2 IgG assays lead to under-detection of mild infections

Stringent thresholds in SARS-CoV-2 IgG assays lead to under-detection of mild infections

<br><strong>Background<br></strong> Thresholds for SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays have typically been determined using samples from symptomatic, often hospitalised, patients. In this setting the sensitivity and specificity of the best performing assays can both exceed 98%. Howeve...
