Abstract The COVID-19 epidemic is believed to have started in late January 2020 in France. We report here a case of a patient hospitalized in December 2019 in our intensive care, of our hospital in the north of Paris, for hemoptysis with no etiological diagnosis and for which RT-PCR was performed retrospectively on the stored respiratory sample which confirmed the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. Based on this result, it appears that the COVID-19 epidemic started much earlier.
摘要:
一般認為新冠肺炎是從2020年一月在法國開始的。我們這裡報道一個在2019年在巴黎北部醫院住院的重症患者的病例。因為咳血而無明顯病原鑑定,我們對保存的呼吸系統樣品進行了反轉錄多聚酶鏈式合成實驗(RT-PCR)結果證明是新冠病毒感染。這個結果顯示新冠肺炎流行開始的時候要早的多。
