    Abstract Long-COVID syndrome is associated with high healthcare costs, but its pathophysiology is not yet fully understood. Inflammation, renal impairment or disturbance of the NO system emerge as potential pathogenetic factors. We aimed to investigate the relationship between symptoms of long-COVID syndrome and serum levels of cystatin-c (CYSC), orosomucoid (ORM), l-arginine, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). A total of 114 patients suffering from long-COVID syndrome were included in this observational cohort study. We found that serum CYSC was independently associated with the anti-spike immunoglobulin (S-Ig) serum level (OR: 5.377, 95% CI: 1.822-12.361;

    Abstract Background: Long COVID is a condition characterized by long-term sequelae persisting after the typical convalescence period of COVID-19. Previous reports have suggested the role of an unsatisfactory immune response and impaired viral clearance in the pathogenesis of long COVID syndrome. We focused on potential associations between post-vaccination changes of antibody titers and the severity of long COVID symptoms and factors influencing the state of remission observed in patients with long COVID after vaccination.
    Methods: The severity of long COVID symptoms and serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S-Ig) and nucleocapsid (NC-Ig) levels were assessed in 107 post-COVID subjects at two time points: at baseline, and 17-24 weeks later. Besides, vaccination status was also assessed. Symptoms were evaluated based on the Chalder fatigue scale (CFQ-11) and visual analogue scale (VAS).
    Results: Serum level of S-Ig and NC-Ig at baseline were significantly higher in the patients with non-severe fatigue than those with severe fatigue, and this difference remained significant at follow-up in the case of NC-Ig. NC-Ig level above median was as an independent predictor for complete remission at follow-up. The difference in NC-Ig levels in subgroup analyses (severe fatigue vs. non-severe fatigue; complete remission vs. incomplete remission or progression) was found to be significant only in patients who received vaccination.
    Conclusions: The immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid may play a more important role than the spike in the course of long-term COVID syndrome.

    Abstract Background: The effect of post-vaccination adverse events on immunogenicity is unknown. We aimed to explore relationship between post-vaccination adverse reactions and antibody levels during 6-month follow-up.
    Methods: Blood was serially drawn from healthcare workers after the second dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine (Day 12, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180) and anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG (S-IgG) levels were measured. Following each vaccine dose, volunteers completed a questionnaire regarding adverse reactions (symptomatic vs. asymptomatic groups).
    Results: A total of 395 subjects received the second dose of the vaccine. The main results were as follows: (i) fever after the 2nd dose was independently associated with the median S-IgG level at all follow-up time points; (ii) significantly higher S-IgG levels were observed in the symptomatic group of patients without prior COVID-19 infection throughout the entire follow-up period; (iii) prior COVID-19 positivity resulted in higher S-IgG levels only in the asymptomatic group from Day 90 of the follow-up period; (iv) both prior COVID-19 disease with asymptomatic status and symptomatic status without prior COVID-19 infection resulted in similar S-IgG antibody levels; (v) significantly lower serum S-IgG levels were observed in smokers.
    Conclusion: Fever may play an important role in the post-vaccination immune response in the long term.

    Abstract Background: It is known that adverse reactions following SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations show a positive correlation with the subsequent antibody titer. However, it is not clear how the adverse reactions following the booster vaccination are related to the antibody levels that can be measured after a 3rd dose. The primary goal of this study was to investigate whether the adverse reactions following the booster vaccination show a correlation with subsequent antibody levels.
    Methods: Adverse reactions occurring within 7 days after the 3rd vaccination were recorded and the anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein immunoglobulin (Ig) level in the venous blood was measured on post-vaccination 14th, 60th and 120th days.
    Results: A total of 218 volunteers were included in the study.
    Main findings: (i) The adverse reactions that appeared after the booster dose did not show a positive correlation with the subsequent antibody level, except a correlation in the case of fever; (ii) there were more symptomatic patients in the group receiving heterologous booster vaccine, (iii) fever after the 2nd dose was independently associated with a reduction in the likelihood of COVID-19 positivity after the booster dose.
    Conclusion: No adverse reactions, but fever showed a correlation with the antibody level after the booster SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
