Abstract
Background
Patients with autoimmune disease (AID) or immunodepression (ID), particularly those treated with anti-CD20, have an increased risk of COVID-19 infection.
Objective
To characterise the humoral and cellular immune responses against specific antigens of SARS-CoV-2 in immunocompromised patients, as well as their correlation and determinants.
Methods
This retrospective study was conducted in outpatients with AID and/or ID for which an assessment of their humoral and cellular response was carried out and analysed in relation to demographic data, comorbidities, treatments, type of vaccine and number of doses.
Results
Fifty patients were included. The overall serological response rate was 76%. The cellular response was positive in 54% of patients. The main factors influencing the humoral and cellular responses were age, comorbidities and treatment with anti-CD20.
Conclusion
In ID patients, vaccination against COVID-19 can generate an adequate T-cell response, the character of which is an emerging issue in the context of COVID-19 infection. The main limitations of this study and those in the literature are the heterogeneity of the patients included and the absence of a control population. These results highlight the importance of evaluating the antiviral T-cell response and the impact of immunosuppressive treatments.
