“…A suspected case of reinfection is defined when, 90 days after an initial episode of SARS CoV-2 infection confirmed by reverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or a positive antigen test for SARS CoV-2, and the person again presents clinical symptoms compatible with COVID-19 (other possible explanations having been ruled out). A genomic confirmation between the virus of the first episode and the second infection is made to confirm the reinfection, this will demonstrate there are differences between the sequenced viruses, 8 being a difficult confirmation to achieve in our location due to the scarce availability of viral sequencing tests to verify that the viruses belong to different strains.…”

Introduction: In coronavirus cases, reinfection has been associated with short-term immunity and genetic changes in viruses which allow them to escape from immune response, viral genotyping is required to make the precise diagnosis of reinfection, but the suspicion occurs in patients with more than 90 days between the tests and total improvement between them. We made a descriptive retrospective study with the cases of reinfection in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Results: We found up to June 30, 3249 cases with suspected reinfection, 1.1% of all cases. During the first infection episode, 68% of the patients had symptoms, while at the moment of reinfection, the percentage was 73.4%. 55% of the analyzed cases had symptoms in both infection episodes, hospitalization of reinfection cases was 2% during the first episode and 2.2% in the second one. Conclusion: the reinfection percentage was low, as well as the hospitalization and ICU cases. These results allow to define that in terms of the provision of healthcare services, reinfection defined in this study, does not generate any differences in care required vs the first episode.
