Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) re-infection by a phylogenetically distinct severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 strain confirmed by whole genome …
Background Waning immunity occurs in patients who have recovered from Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, it remains unclear whether true re-infection occurs.
Methods Whole genome sequencing was performed directly on respiratory specimens
collected during 2 episodes of COVID-19 in a patient. Comparative genome analysis was
conducted to differentiate re-infection from persistent viral shedding. Laboratory results,
including RT-PCR Ct values and serum Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 …
