Lastly, the emergence of mutations distinctive of currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) support the hypothesis for long-term viral shedding in immunocompromised patients as one possible mechanism for the emergence of VOCs.

Vertical bars represent the accumulated number of mutations in the sequenced genome compared to the consensus viral sequence obtained from the first NP sample (day 9). † At day 50, a BAL sample was shown to have actively replicating SARS-CoV-2 viruses.

Only non-synonymous mutations are identified with the amino acid changes in the figure We deeply acknowledge the University Hospital Nuestra Señora de Candelaria (HUNSC) and the
