Variability in household secondary attack rates and transmission risks factors of SARS-CoV-2 remain poorly understood.We conducted a study Costa Rica, with index cases selected from larger prospective cohort their contacts were enrolled. A total 719 304 enrolled November 21, 2020, through July 31, 2021. Blood specimens collected within 30-60 days case diagnosis; serum was tested for presence spike nucleocapsid IgG antibodies. Evidence prior infections among defined based on the both We...
Abstract Background Evidence continues to accumulate regarding the potential long-term health consequences of COVID-19 in population. To distinguish between COVID-19-related symptoms and limitations from those caused by other conditions, it is essential compare cases with community controls using prospective data ensuring case-control status. The RESPIRA study addresses this need investigating lasting impact on Health-related Quality Life (HRQoL) symptomatology a population-based cohort...
The RESPIRA cohort aims to describe the nature, magnitude, time course and efficacy of immune response SARS-CoV-2 infection vaccination, population prevalence, household transmission COVID-19.
The true incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Costa Rica was likely much higher than officially reported, because is often associated with mild symptoms and testing limited by official guidelines socio-economic factors.
Abstract Background Breast cancer incidence is increasing rapidly in Latin America, with a higher proportion of cases among young women than developed countries. Studies have linked inflammation to breast development, but data limited premenopausal women, especially America. Methods We investigated the associations between serum biomarkers chronic (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), leptin, adiponectin) and risk 453 matched,...
Immunity acquired by vaccination following infection, termed hybrid immunity, has been shown to confer enhanced protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enhancing the breadth and potency of immune responses. Here, we assess Fc-mediated humoral profiles in immunity their association with age vaccine type. Participants are divided into three groups: infection only, (i.e., immunity). Using systems serology, profile responses spikes subdomains SARS-CoV-2...

Abstract Variability in household secondary attack rates (SAR) and transmission risks factors of SARS-CoV-2 remain poorly understood. To characterize a setting, we conducted serologic study Costa Rica, with index cases selected from larger prospective cohort their contacts were enrolled. A total 719 304 enrolled November 21, 2020, through July 31, 2021. Demographic, clinical, behavioral information was collected the contacts. Blood specimens within 30-60 days case diagnosis; serum tested for...
