摘要

Background: In a few discharged patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),the nucleic acid test shows positive results again.Whether this is due to relapse of the disease,reinfection by the virus,or a false-positive result at hospital discharge is worth exploring.Case presentation: A woman with COVID-19 was discharged from the hospital after integrative treatment with traditional Chinese and Western medicine because she met the discharge standards.However,she obtained positive results on a nucleic acid test 22 days later.Conclusion: Based on this positive test result in a discharged patient with COVID-19,anal tests and coronavirus antibody tests should be combined with throat swab tests to further develop the diagnosis and discharge standards for patients with COVID-19.
