The COVID-19 epidemic is believed to have started in late January 2020 in France. Here we report a case of a patient hospitalised in December 2019 in an intensive care unit in a hospital in the north of Paris for haemoptysis with no aetiological diagnosis. RT-PCR was performed retrospectively on the stored respiratory sample and confirmed the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Based on this result, it appears that the COVID-19 epidemic started much earlier in France.
据信,COVID-19 疫情于 2020 年 1 月下旬在法国开始。在这里,我们报告了一名患者的病例,该患者于 2019 年 12 月在巴黎北部一家医院的重症监护病房因咯血住院,病因诊断不明。对储存的呼吸道样本进行了 RT-PCR 检测,结果证实了严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)感染的诊断。基于这一结果,COVID-19 疫情在法国的开始时间似乎要早得多。
