Serologic Testing of Household Contacts of Confirmed Cases of COVID-19

Completed
Conditions
Coronavirus Infection
Registration Number
NCT04393142
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Universitario Dr. Jose E. Gonzalez
Brief Summary

SARS-CoV-2 has now crossed the 1 million number of cases and tens of thousands of deaths. It´s R0 has been calculated between 2 and 5.7 solely based on clinical symptoms but it is estimated to likely be higher. Serologic evidence of infection has not been analyzed.

Detailed Description

Transverse, observational and descriptive study involving household contacts of documented patients with COVID-19 infection: contacts will be invited to participate and a blood sample will be drowned: IgM and IgG qualitative and quantitative measurements will be performed. Demographic data regarding age, comorbidities, calculated time spent before and after the patients diagnosis, isolation practices etc.
