Abstract: |
Information about humoral and cellular responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and antibody persistence in convalescent (COVID-19) patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is scarce. The objectives of this study were to investigate factors influencing humoral and cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 and its persistence in convalescent COVID-19 PwMS. This is a retrospective study of confirmed COVID-19 convalescent PwMS identified between February 2020 and May 2021 by SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing. We examined relationships between demographics, MS characteristics, disease-modifying therapy (DMT), and humoral (immunoglobulin G against spike and nucleocapsid proteins) and cellular (interferon-gamma [IFN-γ]) responses to SARS-CoV-2. A total of 121 (83. 45%) of 145 PwMS were seropositive, and 25/42 (59. 5%) presented a cellular response up to 13. 1 months after COVID-19. Anti-CD20-treated patients had lower antibody titers than those under other DMTs (p < 0. 001), but severe COVID-19 and a longer time from last infusion increased the likelihood of producing a humoral response. IFN-γ levels did not differ among DMT. Five of 7 (71. 4%) anti--CD20-treated seronegative patients had a cellular response. The humoral response persisted for more than 6 months in 41/56(81. 13%) PwMS. In multivariate analysis, seropositivity decreased due to anti-CD20 therapy (OR 0. 08 [95% CI 0. 01-0. 55]) and increased in males (OR 3. 59 [1. 02-12. 68]), whereas the cellular response decreased in those with progressive disease (OR 0. 04 [0. 001-0. 88]). No factors were associated with antibody persistence. Humoral and cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 are present in COVID-19 convalescent PwMS up to 13. 10 months after COVID-19. The humoral response decreases under anti-CD20 treatment, although the cellular response can be detected in anti-CD20-treated patients, even in the absence of antibodies. |
