Clinical features of familial clustering in patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China

Abstract: An epidemic caused by SARS-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has appeared in Wuhan City in December 2019. The disease has shown a "clustering epidemic" pattern, and family-clustered onset has been the main characteristic. We collected data about 130 cases from 35 cluster-onset families (COFs) and 41 cases from 16 solitary-onset families (SOFs). The incidence of 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in COFs was significantly higher than that of SOFs. Our study also showed that patients with exposure to high-ri… Show more

“…T cells are the key mediators of antiviral immune responses, and studies of lymphocytes in patients with COVID-19 are beginning to emerge (8). Lymphopenia is the hallmark of severe COVID-19 presentation (9), and studies from small series of patients suggest this affects T cells, B cells, and NK cells (10)(11)(12)(13). Recipients of cellular therapies, including allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo), autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (Auto), and CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy, constitute a unique population of patients with hematologic malignancies, due to their immune dysregulation and prolonged timeline for immune reconstitution.…”

“…Currently, the zoonotic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is dramatically challenging global health systems. COVID-19 exhibits a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from a moderate course of infection with no or mild symptoms to viral pneumonia and hospitalization particularly in patients at risk, ultimately requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission in case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (1,2). Factors determining clinical outcome include patient age, chronic pulmonary and heart disease, as well as excessive production of the inflammatory mediators interleukin 6 (IL-6) and 8 (IL-8) (3,4).…”
