The reinfection of recovered COVID-19 patient is one of the major concerns worldwide. Here we report a case of previously recovered patient from Covid-19 who presented with symptomatic reinfection beyond 3 months. We report a case of 58 year old female patient who after presenting with symptomatic episode of RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 in April 2020, presented with a new symptomatic infection by SARS-CoV-2 four months later. These 2 episodes of infection were caused by different sources as evident from her epidemiological correlates. This is the first epidemiologically, RAT, RT-PCR and antibody confirmed COVID-19 case of re-infection of SARS CoV-2 reported from Western India.
新冠康复患者再次感染是全球主要关注的问题之一。在此,我们报告一例曾从新冠康复的患者,其在3个月后出现有症状的再次感染。我们报告一名58岁女性患者,她于2020年4月出现RT-PCR确诊的新冠有症状发作,4个月后又出现了由SARS-CoV-2引起的新的有症状感染。从她的流行病学关联来看,这2次感染由不同来源引起。这是印度西部报告的首例经流行病学、快速抗原检测(RAT)、RT-PCR和抗体确认的SARS-CoV-2再次感染的新冠病例。
