    Studysummary This study reported that COVID-19 patients treated with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir had lower anti-spike IgG levels and different cytokine patterns compared to those not receiving antiviral treatment, suggesting early antiviral use may alter immune response by reducing viral load and antigen presentation.
