Covidkon: Mucosal immunity, COVID-19 and early treatment

In his lecture at the 1st Czecho-Slovak Covid-19 Conference prof. MUDr. Vojtech Thon, Ph.D. talks about mucosal immunity. He discusses the relationship between mucosal and systemic immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and comments on the development of immunity based on data from the PROSECO study involving 30,000 people. The study shows significant seropositivity of anti-SARS-CoV-2 memory IgG antibodies in the population, even in subjects who have not been tested by PCR. Antibodies are becoming a new diagnostic feature of SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, they are not interpreted in this way at the level of epidemiological data. In the context of diagnosis and management of the epidemic, the lecture also deals with appropriate procedures for early treatment of covid-19.
