Recurrent presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a 33-year-old man

ABSTRACT

A 33- year-old man had four times recurrent presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA after 137 days onset of illness, the presence of antibodies did not prevent recurrent infections, but maybe inhibited transmission. This case could have implications for the properties of future vaccines. Reasons for the repeated presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA may be contribute to the biological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and might also be related to coexisting diseases, low neutralizing antibody titres or resistance to antiviral drugs.
