The true risk of COVID-19 infection in anorexia nervosa (AN) including the duration of viral RNA shedding and infectivity is still unclear. We report on a case of a patient with severe AN with a mild course of COVID-19 and prolonged viral RNA shedding for at least 39 days after symptom onset. A careful evaluation of long-term infectivity must include viral load, live virus isolation, and viral genome sequencing.
神经性厌食症(AN)患者感染新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的真实风险,包括病毒RNA脱落持续时间和传染性,目前仍不清楚。我们报告了1例患有严重AN的患者,其COVID-19病程较轻,但症状出现后病毒RNA脱落延长至少39天。对长期传染性的仔细评估必须包括病毒载量、活病毒分离和病毒基因组测序。
