"
11/01/2000 - "A single preoperative high dose of methylprednisolone (15 to 30 mg/kg) has been advocated in surgery, because it may inhibit the surgical stress response and thereby improve postoperative outcome and convalescence. "

12/01/2005 - "The antibody of SARS-IgG, T cell subsets, chest CT, and the pulmonary function were observed in patients 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 2 years after convalescence from SARS. "
03/01/2005 - "Data showed that all the SARS convalescent patients had generated high level of specific IgG antibody against coronavirus in the early stage of recovery, but the antibody level declined along with the progress of convalescence, suggesting that the detection of the IgG antibody should go on until it disappeared."

"

01/01/1994 - "In past years, diagnosis was confirmed only during convalescence; however, newer, more widely available methods, such as antigen detection and improved in vitro cultivation, have enabled a diagnosis at a time when therapeutic decisions are made. "
12/01/2001 - "During convalescence, at the conclusion of antibiotic therapy, 64% of the patients had proliferative cellular reactivity and 95% had antibody reactivity with at least one of the spirochetal antigens tested. "

"
05/01/2009 - "Despite improvements in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test sensitivity, post-transfusion hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection still occurs because HBsAg is undetectable during the early window phase (WP) of the infection, in the convalescence core window phase of the infection, or in serologically silent chronic hepatitis or in mutant forms of HBV.
