Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: People who are immunocompromised can develop persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections. Several viral mutations accumulated during the course of such persistent infections have also been observed in prominent variants of concern (VOCs). Here, we characterise persistent infection and viral evolution of SARS-CoV-2 lasting more than 750 days in a person with advanced HIV-1 infection. METHODS: Between March, 2021,...
