(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 24 - MILAN - It has been suspected for months, but the evidence is Maoraci: the SarsCoV2 virus can return to hit the same person even after a few months, just like the viruses of the common cold do. Proof of this is what is announced as the world's first documented case of coronavirus infection. Certified by genetic tests conducted at the University of Hong Kong, the unfortunate protagonist is a 33-year-old man in good health, who after four months would have been struck by two distinct strains of the SarsCov2 virus: the results of the analyzes, announced in a press release of the university , are in the process of being published in Clinical Infectious Diseases. Using next generationsequencing, the researchers examined the viral genome collected during the first infection and compared it with the virus responsible for the second infection. The comparison revealed that the two episodes are attributable to genetically distinct viruses.
