Thus, we evaluated five commercial serological tests widely used worldwide on samples from patients hospitalized for COVID-19, non-hospitalized patients but infected with SARS-CoV-2, patients participating in screening campaigns, and samples from patients with a history of other seasonal coronavirus infections. The assays were validated using serum samples from (i) patients hospitalized for COVID-19 (n=20), non-hospitalized patients but PCR confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 (n= 58), patients participating in screening campaigns (n= 62), and samples from patients with a history of other seasonal coronavirus infections (n= 28). For the first group, with 20 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with a positive nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 PCR, all samples were positive with these serological assays evaluated ( Figure 1A ). ./cache/cord-256699-d2tf2g7f.txt ./txt/cord-256699-d2tf2g7f.txt
