Abstract
A 38-year-old woman was one of close contacts with a patient confirmed 2019 novel coronavirus in a family cluster for 7
days [1]. She presented with a 3-day history of intermittent fever, slight cough.
Her body temperature was elevated to 38.2°C. Coarse breath sounds were noted in both lungs on auscultation. Laboratory
results showed white blood cell count was 3.84×109
/L, neutrophils were 54.6% and lymphocytes were 36%. The level of Creactive protein increased to 10.69 mg/L (normal range, 0-6 mg/L) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 3 mm/h (normal
range, 0-20 mm/h).
