The transmission pathways of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain not completely clear. In this case study the test for the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in pharyngeal swab and anal swab were compared.
A 3-month-old girl was admitted to our hospital with COVID-19. Her parents had both been diagnosed with COVID-19. The results of pharyngeal swab and anal swab of the little girl were recorded and compared during the course of the disease. The oropharyngeal specimen showed negative result for SARS-CoV-2 on the 14th day after onset of the illness. However, the anal swab was still positive for SARS-CoV-2 on the 28th day after the onset of the illness.
The possibility of fecal-oral transmission of COVID-19 should be assessed. Personal hygiene during home quarantine merits considerable attention.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的传播途径仍不完全清楚。在本病例研究中，对咽拭子和肛拭子中的新型严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）检测进行了比较。
一名3个月大的女孩因COVID-19入院。她的父母均被诊断为COVID-19。在病程中记录并比较了小女孩咽拭子和肛拭子的结果。口咽标本在发病后第14天SARS-CoV-2检测结果为阴性。然而，肛拭子在发病后第28天SARS-CoV-2仍为阳性。
应评估COVID-19粪口传播的可能性。家庭隔离期间的个人卫生值得高度关注。
