Whole Genome Sequencing Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 Reinfections Among Healthcare Workers in India with Increased Severity in the Second Episode

2020-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Background: Frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) are exceedingly exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and reinfections are a possibility. A RT-PCR positive test does not confirm reinfection. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of the viral isolates from the different episodes can confirm a reinfection. <br><br>Methods: RNA was extracted from nasopharyngeal plus oropharyngeal samples from four HCWs who were SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positive in...
