Recurrent Positivity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a Clinically Recovered COVID-19 Patient with End Stage Renal Disease: A Case Report.

Recurrent or persistent positivity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in clinically recovered COVID-19 patients have been reported worldwide. However, replication competent live viruses were not recovered beyond two to three weeks from onset of symptoms in mild to severe cases of COVID-19. End stage renal disease is characterized by uremia induced immune dysfunction that increases the risk of infectious diseases including COVID-19.
