Coronavirus-specific antibodies decline fast and allow reinfection starting 6 months post infection. Knowledge on reinfection is very important for SARS-CoV-2. Here we report a reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 of a 23 years old female health care worker 177 days after the onset of the first episode. The second episode was clinically more severe as the first episode. Our data show that reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 can occur with increased clinical impact in immunocompetent, young individuals after less than half a year.

Abstract Reports of possible pre- or asymptomatic transmission have been reported, both from SARS-CoV and from MERS-CoV outbreaks, although this appears to be uncommon. In contrast, during the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of studies and case reports indicate that pre- or asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is not only possible but also occurs frequently. We report repeated rRT-PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 in a health care worker and demonstrate infective ability up to three days prior to mild COVID-19 symptoms. rRT-PCR indicated high viral levels approximately three days after exposure. Viral samples collected one and three days prior to symptoms exhibited infectivity on Vero E6 cells, confirmed by detection of double-stranded RNA by immunofluorescence, assessment of cytopathic effect (CPE) and rRT-PCR. SARS-CoV-2 specific IgM and IgG antibodies were detected by day 9 and 15, respectively, after symptom onset. We propose that this provides evidence for potential early presymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and that infectivity may be manifest shortly after exposure.
