respiratory infections and the immunocompromised host<\/a> at IDIBELL and Bellvitge Hospital with a team of professionals from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Thirty-seven patients admitted for COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic at Bellvitge University Hospital were included. Blood samples were obtained after the first 24 hours of admission, after three days, at seven, and finally at 46 days. Thanks to the dynamic characterization of the humoral immune response (based on antibodies) of COVID-19, it was possible to evaluate the influence that the previous immunity of other coronaviruses (that cause the common cold) could have on the immunity against the COVID-19.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
