Since December 2019, the world is captivated by SARS-CoV-2, a new coronavirus that shows a lot of similaritieswith previous coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS. Although it was initially seen mainly in China and the surrounding countries, now it also reached Europe, where a large region in northern Italy, in particular, encountered many infections.
Here we describe the first Dutch patient with COVID-19, a 56-year-old man whose infection appeared to be related to a trip to Northern Italy one week before presentation. In the days that followed, the brother of the patient with whom he had traveled, his wife and daughter also tested positive.
At the moment much is still unclear and it is particularly important to quickly identify patients with an increased risk of complications and to prevent unrestrained spread in the Netherlands.
自2019年12月以来，一种新型冠状病毒——严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起了全球关注，该病毒与之前的冠状病毒如SARS和MERS有许多相似之处。尽管最初主要在中国及周边国家出现，但现在它也蔓延到了欧洲，尤其是意大利北部的大片地区出现了大量感染病例。
在此，我们描述了荷兰首例新冠肺炎患者，一名56岁男性，其感染似乎与发病前一周前往意大利北部的旅行有关。在随后的几天里，与他一同旅行的兄弟、他的妻子和女儿也检测呈阳性。
目前仍有许多情况不明，快速识别有并发症风险增加的患者并防止其在荷兰无节制传播尤为重要。
