NCIt related terms : COVID-19 reinfection;
NCIt definition : A new, discrete episode of acute COVID-19 in an individual with a prior history of
probable/confirmed COVID-19.;
Alternative definition : ACC/AHA: New discrete episode of acute COVID-19 in person with a prior history of
probable/confirmed COVID-19. Other information can provide supporting but not definitive
evidence for reinfection, such as culture or subgenomic mRNA analysis (to detect the
presence of replication-competent virus) or serology, which could be useful to document
a serological response to SARS-CoV-2. The following should be enumerated as a new
case: SARS-CoV-2 sequencing results from the new positive specimen and a positive
specimen from the most recent previous case demonstrate a different lineage. OR Person
was most recently enumerated as a confirmed or probable case with onset date (if available)
or first positive specimen collection date for that classification greater than 90
d prior. OR Person was previously reported but not enumerated as a confirmed or probable
case (i.e., suspect), but now meets the criteria for a confirmed or probable case.
Repeat suspect cases should not be enumerated.;
