A Dutch woman died after contracting the novel coronavirus for a second time it what is being called the first case of such an occurrence.
As Fox News reported, the 89-year-old woman went to the emergency room with a severe cough and fever. At that point, she was tested and confirmed to have a positive case of COVID-19. She was discharged five days later with fatigue.
Two months later, the woman began chemotherapy for a rare bone marrow type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma called Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia.
Shortly after starting the treatment, she began to have symptoms of COVID-19 once again, this time worse than the initial instance, with a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The test marked 59 days since her initial diagnosis. The unnamed patient was re-checked for the disease and once again received a positive result.
She was given an antibody test two days apart and both came back negative. Two weeks later, she died.
