Covid, children with mild forms develop more antibodies than adults

The response of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in children with mild forms is superior and longer lasting than that of adults. In particular, children between 0 and 3 years of age are able to develop neutralizing antibody titers 7-8 times higher than those of adults, up to 7-8 months after the infection. According to a study by researchers from the University of Padua and the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of the Venezie, carried out with the Padua Hospital, the Penta Onlus Foundation and the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome and published in the magazine Pediatrics.
