Selective Transmission In SARS-CoV-2: An Interesting Covid-19 Case Report

Abstract

Covid-19'dan enfekte olan ve iyileşen çok sayıda bireyle birlikte, SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonunun sağladığı bağışıklığın kalitesi ve süresi hakkında, hastalığın tekrarlama olasılığı da dahil olmak üzere yoğun tartışmalar sürmektedir. Bu çalışma ile aynı evde yaşayan üç sağlık çalışanından ikisinin aynı anda COVID-19 enfeksiyonuna yakalanmasına rağmen birinin negatif olması ile ilgili bir vaka sunulmaktadır.

Selective Transmission In SARS-CoV-2: An Interesting Covid-19 Case Report

Abstract

With the large number of individuals infected and recovering from COVID-19, intense debate continues about the quality and duration of acquired immunity from SARS-CoV-2 infection, including the possibility of relapse. In this study, we present three healthcare workers who share a house, two of whom simultaneously developed COVID-19 infection whereas the third tested negative for COVID-19.
