Description: The COPD assessment test (CAT) is a validated self-administered instrument designed to provide a simple and reliable measure of health status in COPD patients. Its properties have been shown to be similar to the St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ). The CAT comprises 8 items and has a scoring range of 0-40, 0= most positive answer and 40= most negative answer. In this study, the subjects were to complete the CAT questionnaire every 3 months.

Description: The NEADL assessed (quarterly in the present study) the ease or difficulty in performing extended activities of daily living. The NEADL scale contains 22 items, each measured on a 4-point Likert scale. There are four dimensions: mobility (6 items); kitchen (5 items); domestic (5 items); leisure (6 items). These are summed producing a total score reflecting general functioning. Each of the 22 individual items had 2 possible scores (0 or 1). Therefore, the range of the NEADL score was 0 to 22. Lower scores indicate greater levels of disability while higher scores indicate greater independence.

Description: The EQ-5D is an established measure of generic health outcome that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value that can be used in clinical and economic evaluation of healthcare and in population surveys. Its current format is 3-level and 5 dimensional (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). The EQ-5D index was derived from the ratings recorded every 3 months for each of the five individual items (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). The EQ-5D index was 0 (worst health state) to 100 (best health state). The negative numbers presented represent a decrease from baseline values and a worsening of health.

2 Generation of Human Monoclonal Antibodies Neutralizing SARS-Cov-2 From B Cells of Convalescent Patients

Rationale : The emergence of the novel, pathogenic SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) threatens public health. To date, there are no effective drug option to prevent the infection, nor therapeutics for controlling the deadly COVID-19. However, the majority of patients infected with SARS-Cov-2 eliminate the virus by mounting a protective antiviral immune response, associated in particular with the production of neutralizing antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies could be of particular interest for therapeutic purposes, but also for preventive applications, to protect people who have never been in contact with the virus, or immunocompromised patients. The objectives of this study are : - To generate human monoclonal antibodies neutralizing SARS-Cov-2 from immortalized B cells of convalescent patients. - To compare the serological profiles between convalescent patients that develop mild or uncomplicated illness and convalescent patients that develop a more severe disease, that required hospitalization and oxygen support. - To compare for each patient the neutralizing efficiency of plasma to the neutralizing capacities of the monoclonal antibodies generated with immortalized B cells.

NCT04354766 COVID Other: Blood sample

Primary Outcomes

Description: Isolation of immortalized B lymphocyte clones, producer of monoclonal antibodies capable of neutralizing the infection of a target cell by SARS-COV-2.

Measure: Production of several human monoclonal antibodies capable of neutralizing the infection of a target cell by SARS-COV-2.

Time: 3 weeks

3 Host-pathogen Interactions During Paediatric and Adult SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19)

The new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently responsible for a pandemic spread of febrile respiratory infections, responsible for a veritable global health crisis. In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.
