  • Characteristics of cases infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 of different genotypes

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of patients who were infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) of different genotypes. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 111 SARS-CoV-2 infected cases at home and abroad admitted to Chengdu Public Health Clinical Medical Center between January and September 2020. The basic information, gene sequencing results (Pangolin typing method), clinical typing, first laboratory examinations 24 hours after admission, and whether repositive after discharge were collected. According to Pangolin typing, patients were divided into five groups: A, B, B.X, B.1.X and B.1.1.X. The basic information (age, sex, and origin), laboratory test results (lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, CD3+ T lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, and CD8+ T lymphocytes), clinical classification and whether repositive were compared among different genotype infected patients. Results Among the 111 infected patients, 54 (48.6%) were males and 57 (51.4%) were females. Their ages ranged from 16 to 87 years, with a median age of 49 years. In terms of clinical classification, there were 10 asymptomatic cases (9.0%), 10 mild cases (9.0%), 64 ordinary cases (57.7%), 13 severe cases (11.7%), and 14 critical cases (12.6%). There were 75 domestic cases (67.6%) and 36 imported cases (32.4%). Eighty cases (72.1%) did not return to positive, and 31 cases (27.9%) returned to positive. There were 8 cases infected by type A virus, 18 cases infected by type B virus, 26 cases infected by type B.X virus, 5 cases infected by type B.1.X virus, and 54 cases infected by type B.1.1.X virus. Among patients infected by different genotype viruses, no statistically significant difference was found in sex, age, clinical type, laboratory examination, or whether repositive (P>0.05), but there was statistically significant difference in the distribution of domestic and imported cases (P=0.016). Type B virus infected patients were mostly domestic cases, while type B.X virus infected patients were mostly imported cases. Conclusion The distribution of domestic and imported cases is different among SARS-CoV-2 of different genotypes.
