Abstract
We would like to share our thoughts on the paper published recently in Acta Paediatrica that stated that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies started to decline just four months after children became infected with the virus.[SUP]1[/SUP] Breuer et al also concluded that re-opening schools did not affect infection rates.[SUP]1[/SUP] The authors used the Abbott Architect SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay (manufacturer, region, country).[SUP]1[/SUP] The diagnostic properties of the test varies and depends on the time after exposure to the antigen.[SUP]2[/SUP] That is why different detection rates after vaccination may or may not be related to the diagnostic properties of the diagnostic test at different times.
