His mother and father had close contact with him. His father was later diagnosed with COVID-19 infection after a positive reverse transcription PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The patient and his mother were diagnosed as suspected cases of COVID-19 based on a history of exposure, clinical manifestation, and imaging examination. However, the patient was tested more than three times with the reverse transcription PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, and the results were negative each time. COVID-19 should be suspected, regardless of SARS-CoV-2 test negativity, for recent close contact with a confirmed case and respiratory symptoms.Keywords: COVID-19, respiratory symptoms, suspected, negative, clusterHuang XLong XZi JLiu PDove Medical Pressarticlecovid-19respiratory symptomssuspectednegativeclusterInfectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216ENInfection and Drug Resistance, Vol Volume 14, Pp 5035-5040 (2021)
