Coronavirus disease pandemic has been started in late 2019. Since this date, the number of cases has been increased reaching 32.7 million cases worldwide in 27 September, 2020. .

Detailed Description
Aims of work:
A cross-sectional study to detect the seroprevalence to COVID 19 in chronic hemodialysis patients and compare it with the COVID 19 seroprevalence in healthy control in Sohag governorate Egypt
Methods:
After taken informed consent according to Sohag University Ethical Committee A questionnaire on coronavirus symptoms will be asked including epidemiological characters and history of previous COVID 19 infection and infection control measures to prevent it
5 ml of the blood sample will be taken for IgG antibodies testing with a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.
