We report the case of a 43-year-old man who was infected with SARS-CoV-2 in February 2020 and actively cooperated with treatment in the hospital. During the course of treatment, we found that the respiratory SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid became negative, but remained positive in the intestinal tract. As a result, we adjusted the treatment plan to include traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment. The patient had negative intestinal SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test within 4 days, and the subsequent repeated review of intestinal SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid was negative, and the virus was undetectable. It is suggested that traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment may be helpful to remove the SARS-CoV-2 in the intestines of patients with COVID-19 infection, and may support the treatment of patients with respiratory SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid negative and positive in the intestinal tract.
我们报告了一名43岁男性的病例，该患者于2020年2月感染了SARS-CoV-2，并在医院积极配合治疗。在治疗过程中，我们发现呼吸道SARS-CoV-2核酸转为阴性，但肠道内仍为阳性。因此，我们调整了治疗方案，加入了中药灌肠治疗。患者在4天内肠道SARS-CoV-2核酸检测呈阴性，随后多次复查肠道SARS-CoV-2核酸均为阴性，病毒检测不到。提示中药灌肠治疗可能有助于清除COVID-19感染患者肠道内的SARS-CoV-2，并可能对呼吸道SARS-CoV-2核酸阴性而肠道内阳性的患者治疗有辅助作用。
