Two recent papers were published in JAMA on infants born to mothers who were infected with SARS-CoV-2. All of the available evidence suggested that the babies were not infected with the virus at the time of birth. Analysis of the babies' blood soon after birth showed that they all had high levels of IgG against SARS-CoV-2 and about half of them also had anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM. Which of the following best explains this observation?
Group of answer choices:
A.The presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies in some of the babies indicates that their mothers were asymptomatic
B.The presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM in some of the babies indicates that viral antigens were transported into the blood of these babies
C.The lack of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM in some of the babies suggests that these individuals had an immunodeficiency syndrome
D.The presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies indicates that all of the babies must have been infected with the virus
E.The presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM antibodies in some of the babies indicates that these babies lacked helper T cells
