Infectious Diseases Society of America Guidelines on the Diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease 2019: Serologic Testing

Abstract

The high seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 worldwide limits the utility of detecting anti-SARS CoV-2 antibody. The certainty of available evidence supporting the use of serology for diagnosis was graded as very low to low. Future studies should use serologic assays calibrated to a common reference standard.
