ABSTRACT
Objective: To communicate probable cases of COVID-19 reinfection in medical
personnel.
Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational study performed from June
to October 2020, in which information was collected on the cases of doctors who had
COVID-19 reinfection.
Results: Twenty-four doctors with COVID-19 reinfection were included. The most
frequent comorbidity in this group of cases was overweight or obesity in 15 patients
(62%); 7 individuals did not report any comorbidity and 3 of the cases suffered from
systemic arterial hypertension, of which 2 also had obesity.
Conclusions: The reinfection of COVID-19 is very likely and the SARS-CoV-2
virus does not provoke a perennial immunological memory in all infected individuals.
