SARS-CoV-2 intra-host evolution during prolonged infection in an immunocompromised patient
Objectives: Intra-host SARS-CoV-2 evolution during chronic infection in immunocompromised hosts has been suggested as being the possible trigger of the emergence of new variants. Methods: Using a deep sequencing approach, we investigated the SARS-CoV-2 intra-host genetic evolution in a patient with...

| description | Objectives: Intra-host SARS-CoV-2 evolution during chronic infection in immunocompromised hosts has been suggested as being the possible trigger of the emergence of new variants. Methods: Using a deep sequencing approach, we investigated the SARS-CoV-2 intra-host genetic evolution in a patient with HIV over a period of 109 days. Results: Sequencing of nasopharyngeal swabs at three time points demonstrated dynamic changes in the viral population, with the emergence of 26 amino acid mutations and two deletions, 57% of them in the Spike protein. Such a combination of mutations has never been observed in other SARS-CoV-2 lineages detected so far. Conclusion: Our data confirm that persistent infection in certain immunocompromised individuals for a long time may favor the dangerous emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants with immune evasion properties. |
