This study objective is to collect tear and blood samples from individuals with positive SARS-COV2 diagnosis and test those samples for the presence of various SARS-COV2 viral antigens and autoantibodies.
Diagnostic Test: SARS-CoV2 Autoantibody detection
Through the data collected from this study we hope to support the development of an ELISA assay for the detection of IgM and IgG autoantibodies produced in response to the presence of SARS-CoV2
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age or older Has been tested for SARS-CoV2 and awaiting results Sample
collection for SARS-CoV2 testing Tested positive for SARS-CoV2 virus (confirmed by
RT-PCR) prior to enrollment
Exclusion Criteria:
- Under 18 years of age Concurrent eye infection or trauma unrelated to presence of
SARS-CoV2 virus. Advanced COVID-19 state what would preclude safe and feasible sample
collection.
