khs Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs when antibodies facilitate viral entry into host cells and enhance viral infection in these cells (1, 2). ADE has been observed for a variety of viruses, most notably in flaviviruses (e.g., dengue virus) (3-6). Peer reviewed paper: https://www.docdroid.net/uVOql5p/jvi02015-19full.pdf So it is potentially far worse the second time you get it, which makes it an extremely worrying virus considering it's potential r0 value.
