ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The study of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies allows asymptomatic individuals with COVID-19 to be identified, and post-infection and post-vaccination immunity status to be evaluated. OBJECTIVE: To know the behavior of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies before and after vaccination in workers of a cancer center. METHODS: Prior to the application of the vaccine, the presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies (n = 171) was analyzed by evaluating anti-N IgG antibodies; post-vaccination, after receiving the second dose, anti-S IgG antibodies were evaluated (n = 60). RESULTS: Prior to vaccination, IgG antibodies were present in 18.71% of participants; they were detected in 65.22% of those with prior history of COVID-19 diagnosis and in 11.49% of those without it. The positions with the highest prevalence were nurses (28.26%), paramedics (27.59%) and administrative workers (27.78%), p < 0.01. Anosmia, ageusia and chest tightness were associated with the presence of IgG (p < 0.05). Post-vaccination, all participants developed IgG antibodies; people with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis had higher titers: 10,277 vs. 6,819 AU/mL, p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS: The study of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies allowed asymptomatic health workers to be identified. A high percentage of participants with prior COVID-19 diagnosis had antibodies. All participants developed IgG antibodies after vaccination, with higher titers being identified in those with previous infection.


INTRODUCCIÓN: El estudio de anticuerpos IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2 permite identificar individuos asintomáticos con COVID-19 y evaluar la inmunidad posinfección y posvacunación. OBJETIVO: Conocer el comportamiento de los anticuerpos IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2 pre y posvacunación en trabajadores de un centro oncológico. MÉTODOS: Antes de aplicar la vacuna se analizaron los anticuerpos IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2 (n = 171) con la evaluación de IgG anti-N; después de la segunda dosis se evaluó IgG anti-S (n = 60). RESULTADOS: Prevacunación, los anticuerpos IgG estaban presentes en 18.71 % de los participantes; se detectaron en 65.22 % de aquellos con antecedente de diagnóstico de COVID-19 y en 11.49 % de aquellos sin antecedentes. Los profesiones con mayor prevalencia fueron enfermeros (28.26 %), paramédicos (27.59 %) y administrativos (27.78 %), p < 0.01. La anosmia, ageusia y opresión en el pecho se asociaron a la presencia de IgG (p < 0.05). Posvacunación, todos los participantes desarrollaron IgG; las personas con diagnóstico previo de COVID-19 presentaron mayores títulos: 10 277 versus 6819 UA/mL, p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONES: El estudio de anticuerpos IgG anti-SARS-CoV-2 permitió identificar a trabajadores de salud asintomáticos. Un alto porcentaje de los participantes con diagnóstico previo de COVID-19 presentó anticuerpos. Todos los participantes desarrollaron anticuerpos IgG posvacunación; las personas con infección previa presentaron una cuantificación más alta de títulos.
