Since the beginning of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Italy is one of the most affected country in the world. Here we describe a case of recurrence of COVID-19 in a 48-year- old apparently cured patient in Italy, at the beginning of May, 2020. The possibility of a reactivation of COVID-19 poses a major public health concern, since it could significantly contribute to the spread of the virus in the population. Further investigations on convalescent cases are needed to address this issue.

Abstract
Since the beginning of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Italy is one of the most affected country in the world. Here we describe a case of recurrence of COVID-19 in a 48-year- old apparently cured patient in Italy, at the beginning of May, 2020. The possibility of a reactivation of COVID-19 poses a major public health concern, since it could significantly contribute to the spread of the virus in the population. Further investigations on convalescent cases are needed to address this issue.File in questo prodotto:
