ABSTRACT
Background: In this paper we focused on Corona virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The pandemic is spreading and 22,170 cases were confirmed worldwide as of August 18, 2020, in 218 territories, with 780,792 deaths and 14.841.838 recoveries. Methods: we studied a cohort of Moroccan COVID-19 patients, with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, after clinical recovery and hospital discharge. Here, we present their molecular and serological profile after hospital discharge in a single-center experience in Casablanca. Results: The study shows that in the during the convalescent phase of the disease, detecting antibodies in serum specimens is more important than detecting viral RNA. Typical antibody response is induced during the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The serology testing provides important complementation to RNA test for pathogenic specific diagnosis and helpful information to evaluate the adapted immunity status of patient.
