{"title":"SARS-CoV-2 immune response and reinfection in vaccinated Maya and mestizo in Southeast of Mexico.","authors":"Victor Monteón, Floribeth León-Pérez, Josefina G Ancona-León, Gicel Gutiérrez-Torres","doi":"10.21149/15186","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21149/15186","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Immune response to pathogens, including coronaviruses, is influenced by HLA haplotypes. 1,2. Maya ethnic group is predominant in Yucatan peninsula, this Amerindian group present allele frequency HLA-G*01:01:02, HLA-G*01:01:01, HLA-G*01:04:01, HLA-A*68 not found in another Amerindians.3-5 Immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and reinfection particularly after Omicron variant appeared was explored in 118 vaccinated subjects with complete two shots immunization in Maya ascendant and mestizo no-Maya. 1172 epidemiological survey applied to university staff in Campeche, Mexico to evaluate reinfection, co-morbidities, variant virus, disease severity, aftermaths, clinical outcomes, age, sex, ethnicity, and vaccination shots. Multiple logistic regression, correspondence analysis, and association tests were used to analysis data. Sixteen percent of vaccinated subjects became seronegative after 11 months. We found that vaccinated Maya subjects respond with higher IgG immune response compared to no-Maya subjects, similarly women respond with higher IgG response than men (p<0.05). During an eleven-month period and after two vaccination shots, 7% of the vaccinated subjects reported a confirmed positive infection, and after the third vaccine shot a higher IgG immune response than two vaccination shots or natural infection was detected. However, we observed 23.7% reinfection in people after the third shot. This data represents almost three times the reinfection rate reported when compared to previous third vaccine shots. The increase of reinfection in vaccinated subjects was associated with circulation of Omicron variant by 71.5%. Others have reported reinfection of 40% and vaccine effectiveness of 60% during Omicron dominance.6 To understand COVID-19 severity after reinfection in vaccinated subjects and the associated variables, we carried out a multiple logistic regression, and found a strong association between less severe symptoms with Alfa and Omicron variants (B 5.3; Error 0.39; Wald 0.00; Significance 0.00; OR201). However, subjects with severe symptoms and or hospitalization correspondent to individuals with multiplex comorbidities and Gamma SARS-CoV-2 variants (B 5.06; Error 0.97; Wald 26.8; Significance 0.00; OR 158). A follow-up survey of COVID-19 recovered patients experienced diverse digestive, respiratory, cardiac, neurological, or joints involvement sequelae. We looked for SARS-CoV-2 variant and COVID-19 sequelae in a correspondence analysis. Our data suggest that Beta and Delta variants are associated with respiratory and digestive symptoms, whereas Omicron was more closely associated with joints and digestive symptoms, and finally the Gamma variant displayed wider and more diverse symptoms. Our results suggest that genetic background and gender influence IgG response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and Maya ascendant has higher immune IgG response to vaccine than mestizos.
