AI Article Synopsis
- This study documents the first confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in the Amazon region of Brazil, showing that the same virus lineage was involved in both infections.
- The patient was asymptomatic during the initial infection but experienced more severe symptoms upon reinfection.
- The researchers suggest there may be a recessive genetic trait within the Amazonian population that limits the development of immune memory against SARS-CoV-2.
Article Abstract
We report the first confirmed record of a SARS-CoV-2 immunity loss and reinfection for the Amazon region and for Brazil by the same virus lineage. The patient presented an asymptomatic condition the first time and an aggravated one after reinfection. We raise the possibility of a recessive genotype in the Amazonian population that does not generate an immune memory response to SARS-CoV-2.
