336 views

COVID-19 can affect IgG levels. Following infection, the body typically produces IgG antibodies as part of the immune response. These antibodies help in fighting the virus and can remain in the body for months, offering some protection against future infections. However, antibody levels may vary based on factors like the severity of infection and individual immune responses.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What role do IgG antibodies play in COVID-19? IgG antibodies help to fight the virus and provide protection against future infections.
  2. How long do IgG antibodies last after a COVID-19 infection? IgG antibodies can remain in the body for months, although levels may vary based on the individual's immune response.
  3. Do COVID-19 vaccines affect IgG levels? Yes, COVID-19 vaccines are designed to stimulate the production of IgG antibodies as part of the immune response.
  4. Can IgG levels help determine COVID-19 immunity? While IgG levels can provide insights into immune response, they are not the sole indicator of immunity.
