Background:

Epidemiological, clinical, and radiological features of COVID-19 patients have been intensively studied. However, number of follow-up studies to elucidate the rate of rehospitalization and reinfection due to COVID-19 is limited. Therefore, in the current study, our aim was to explore the possibility of rehospitalization and reinfection in COVID-19 recovered cases.

Methods:

In this retrospective and single-center study, all cases with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR and/or CT scan between 5 March to 12 October 2020 in Loghman Hakim hospital were recruited.

Results:

In the current study, 6860 confirmed cases by RT-PCR and/or CT-scan were enrolled. The frequency of the cases readmitted to the emergency department after recovery from COVID-19 was 1325. There were 135 cases meeting at least one episode of hospitalization due to COVID-19 possible reinfection or complication. Of 135 candidates for hospitalization, 63 cases were hospitalized. The reasons for hospitalization were prolonged symptoms after initial infection with COVID-19 (n=54), confirmed or probable reinfection (n=5), and probable complications after infection with COVID-19 (n=5). A patient who had been hospitalized due to complications was reinfected in second month after hospitalization.

Conclusions:

Our study revealed that reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 is uncommon. Relying on this report decreases the compliance and adherence to prevention principles, therefore; more studies are needed to estimate the probability of reinfection.
