| Popis: | This study evaluated for the first time the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in 2115 blood donors from Romania. The overall seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was 1.51%. Assessment of frequency distributions by age groups between SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative blood donors revealed a statistically significant difference (p=0.026). No association was found between seroprevalence and gender, area of residence, Rhesus blood groups or ABO blood types. Our results suggest that we are still far away from achieving a natural immunization against SARS-CoV-2 in Romanian general population. |
