Resumen

El brote de la enfermedad causada por el nuevo coronavirus en 2019 (COVID-19) comenzó en diciembre de 2019 y se extendió rápidamente por todo el mundo como una importante amenaza para la salud. Varios informes de casos positivos después del alta hospitalaria han atraído la atención de investigadores de todo el mundo. Así, el presente estudio busca reportar los principales resultados de la evidencia científica más reciente sobre el tema. Para ello, se realizó una revisión narrativa utilizando las principales bases de datos contenidas en la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, a saber, Sistema de Análisis y Recuperación de Literatura Médica en Línea - MEDLINE y Literatura Latinoamericana y Caribeña en Ciencias de la Salud - LILACS. La corta duración de la seropositividad para los anticuerpos neutralizantes, la presencia de más variantes genotípicas del virus, además del hecho de que los niveles de inmunoglobulina pueden no correlacionarse con la eliminación viral y el riesgo de transmisibilidad del SARS-CoV-2 aumentan el riesgo de reinfección por virus, por lo que es sumamente necesario difundir medidas para prevenir la infección, hasta que se conozcan más aspectos del virus y exista una vacuna eficaz capaz de promover la inmunidad colectiva.
