Co‐infection of SARS‐CoV‐2 and HIV in a patient in Wuhan city, China

The body temperature was 37.5°C. The clinic physician ordered blood routine test and chest computed tomography (CT), and was confirmed to have a mild lymphopenia with a lymphocyte count of 1.1 × 109/L. Due to the shortage of the test kits, real‐time reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (R...

Description
Summary:The body temperature was 37.5°C. The clinic physician ordered blood routine test and chest computed tomography (CT), and was confirmed to have a mild lymphopenia with a lymphocyte count of 1.1 × 109/L. Due to the shortage of the test kits, real‐time reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) assay for detection of coronavirus RNA was performed on his throat swabs on 3 February, which confirmed a positive result. See PDF.] On admission, physical examination revealed a body temperature of 39°C, respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute and oxygen saturation of 80%, which reached 91% while the patient was given mask flow oxygen at a rate of 5 liters per minute.
