ЦитатаAbstract
In the face of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), strong and long-lasting immunity is required to protect the host from secondary infections. Recent studies revealed potential inadequacy of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in some convalescent patients, raising serious concerns about COVID-19 reinfection. Here, from 273 COVID-19 patients, we identified six reinfections based on clinical, phylogenetic, virological, serological, and epidemiological data.
During the second episode, we observed re-emergence of COVID-19 symptoms, new pulmonary lesions on CT images, increased viral load, and secondary humoral immune responses. The interval between the two episodes ranged from 19 to 57 days, indicating COVID-19 reinfections could occur after a short recovery period in convalescent patients. More importantly, reinfection occurred not only in patients with inadequate immunity after the primary infection, but also in patients with measurable levels of neutralizing antibodies. This information will aid the implementation of appropriate public health and social measures to control COVID-19, as well as inform vaccine development.

Вкратце: из 273 пациентов, было выявлено 6 случаев реинфекции, причем, речь идет и о пациентах, с наличием измеряемых уровней нейтрализующих антител. Реинфекции были подтверждены всем, чем можно, включая секвенирование геномов вирусов.
О грустном: интервал между инфекциями составил от 19 до 57 дней.
