Reinfection of SARS-CoV-2 in a health care worker: A case report

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.
