Neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD, 40-199 days after symptom end:
– ~90% of patients have
– ~75% of them (~68%) have high titre (>300)
– no age difference
– higher in hospital cases and males
– lower with steroidsShould last a few years.https://t.co/OYZV6gRfyA https://t.co/Zdhj3W7yGw pic.twitter.com/eTUF870q05

Randomized trial suggests rapid intermittent bolus of hypertonic saline is the best approach for the treatment of symptomatic hyponatremia
