It&#8217;s the first time a death has been reported from reinfection with coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The patient was an 89-year-old woman who was being treated for Waldenstr\u00f6m&#8217;s macroglobulinemia, a rare type of white blood cell cancer which is treatable but incurable. The findings were <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cid\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/cid\/ciaa1538\/33863695\/ciaa1538.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published<\/a> in the Oxford University Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers said the woman arrived at the emergency department earlier this year while suffering from a fever and severe cough. She tested positive for coronavirus and remained hospitalized for 5 days, after which her symptoms subsided completely, except for persisting fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 2 months later, just two days after starting a new round of chemotherapy, she developed a fever, cough, and dyspnea. When she was admitted to hospital, her oxygen saturation was 90 percent with a respiratory rate of 40 breaths per minute. She again tested positive for coronavirus while tests for antibodies were negative at days 4 and 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At day 8, the condition of the patient deteriorated. She died two weeks later,&#8221; the researchers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team had access to test samples from both infections and confirmed that the genetic makeup of each virus was different to a degree which cannot be explained through in-vivo evolution. This supports the finding that the woman was suffering from a reinfection with coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, researchers have confirmed only 23 cases of reinfection, but in all prior cases the patient recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research into reinfections is limited due to the amount of work involved. People with SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, may continue to test positive for several months without being sick of infectious. As a result, researchers need samples from both infections to confirm whether the virus&#8217; genetic makeup is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bnonews.com\/index.php\/2020\/08\/covid-19-reinfection-tracker\/\">Visit the BNO News reinfection tracker for more details.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An elderly woman in the Netherlands has died after getting COVID-19 a second time, researchers reported on Monday.
