Early in the pandemic, it was suggested that </span>serological tests<span><span> can confirm atypical or remote cases and assist in clinical diagnosis when molecular testing was limited. Although clinical uses of serological testing are limited, testing remains useful to: 1) assess and differentiate vaccine from infection related immune responses (when whole cell </span>killed vaccines<span> are not used), 2) enable population-level vaccination/infection and/or hybrid immune response surveillance, 3) understand at the population-level how serological markers correlate with the subsequent risk of infection based on the vaccine product used and the circulating variant, and 4) understand how different types of immunosuppression<span> or other clinical factors impact the immune response. Seroprevalence<span> assessments for infection/vaccination and hybrid immunity was helpful to assist in early phase pandemic modeling and when integrated with vaccine status and epidemiological outcomes enabled assessment of near- and long-term vaccine efficacy. This article will provide an overview of SARS-CoV-2 immunity over time, serology testing technologies, and appropriate SARS-CoV-2 serology test utilization and interpretation.</span></span></span></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":39211,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Microbiology Newsletter","volume":"45 24","pages":"Pages 209-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143272011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
