This study aimed to provide further insight into the evolutionary dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 by analyzing the case of a 40-year-old man who had previously undergone autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. He developed a persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection lasting at least 218 days and did not manifest a humoral immune response to the virus during this follow-up period. Whole-genome sequencing and viral cultures confirmed a persistent infection with a replication-positive virus that had undergone genetic variation for at least 196 days after symptom onset.
本研究旨在通过分析一名 40 岁男性的病例,进一步了解 SARS-CoV-2 的进化动态。该患者因弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤而接受了自体造血干细胞移植。他发生了持续的 SARS-CoV-2 感染,至少持续了 218 天,并且在此随访期间没有针对该病毒产生体液免疫反应。全基因组测序和病毒培养证实了持续感染,复制阳性的病毒在症状出现后至少 196 天发生了遗传变异。
