Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Cross sectional with longitudinal component
- Stimulated whole mouth fluid (SWMF) and blood samples from South Asian and non-Asian populations
- Controls, and COVID-19 patients in both populations.
- Oral disease questionnaire and clinical examination
- Separation of SWMF into pellet for DNA extraction for microbiomics and supernatant for cell phenotype analysis, cytokines and antibodies to SARS-CoV2 antigens

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
• South Asian and White British persons and those diagnosed with symptomatic or asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.
- Aged 18 or over. Able to understand and consent.
- Uninfected subjects: no history of COVID-19; not vaccinated; (negative for anti-SARS-CoV2 nucleoprotein antibodies at lab)
- For patient groups: Confirmed COVID-19 positivity, symptoms and symptom onset within the past 21 days; Be recently hospitalised with COVID-19 disease; Have COVID-19 disease proven by PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 within the last 21 days; COVID disease severity graded as per NIH/WHO.
- Recovered groups: Have had COVID-19 disease proven by PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2. COVID disease severity graded as per WHO or NIH equivalent criteria
- Those willing to participate on a single occasion but unwilling to participate with longitudinal samples will not be excluded.
- Smoking, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, antibiotics or treatment related to COVID is not excluded.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Those patients unwilling to participate, those unable to understand sufficiently to give informed consent and those unable to participate due to the severity of COVID-19 disease. Those patients classified as not either South Asian or White British heritage.
- Patients with malignancy, pregnancy, long term immune suppression, inability to give informed consent, not willing or able to have oral examination.
- Diabetes not excluded but screening for diabetes will be performed: glucose will be assessed in blood/serum sample (150ul).
Exclusion criteria summary:
- Critically ill participants who cannot give informed consent
- Those who are not willing to have an oral examination, or donate blood or saliva samples.
- Those who cannot chew / drool to provide a SWMF sample due to severe/critical medical conditions
- Participants with known malignancies or who are pregnant
- Participants who are on long-term immunosuppressants (e.g. for autoimmune diseases)
- Participation in other current research that is designed to, or is expected to alter the immune response.
- Inability to communicate, understand or read English.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Vaccinated or unvaccinated uninfected South Asian ethnicity
Participants will have not experienced infection (positive test) - we will aim to recruit both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals although the latter may be harder to recruit.
They will identify as of South Asian ethnicity.
Uninfected subjects, will be recruited by advertisement within KCL or social media, from non-COVID in-patients or outpatients or attending A&E at GSTT and at SARS-CoV2 antigen testing centres and vaccination centres and at PIC sites.

Vaccination against COVID 19
Assessment of oral and periodontal health status
|
Asymptomatic / mild infected South Asian ethnicity
Participants will have experienced asymptomatic or mild infection (positive test).
They will identify as of South Asian ethnicity.
Volunteers or subjects attending SARS-CoV2 testing centres who are found to be antigen positive or In-patients who have positive Covid tests and designated as asymptomatic/mild but admitted for non-covid reasons or those attending A&E with COVID but designated as mild/asymptomatic

|
Symptomatic infected South Asian ethnicity
Participants will have experienced moderate or severe symptomatic infection (positive test, admission).
They will identify as of South Asian ethnicity.
Patients either seen at GSTT or admitted as in-patients to GSTT or KCH and found to be SARS-CoV2 positive by RT-PCR in nasopharyngeal samples and designated as moderate/severe on the NIH/NIMR COVID severity scale.

Vaccinated or unvaccinated uninfected Caucasian ethnicity
Participants will have not experienced infection (positive test) - we will aim to recruit both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals although the latter may be harder to recruit.
They will identify as of Caucasian ethnicity.
Uninfected subjects, will be recruited by advertisement within KCL or social media, from non-COVID in-patients or outpatients or attending A&E at GSTT and at SARS-CoV2 antigen testing centres and vaccination centres and at PIC sites.
