To analyze the clinical characteristics of re-positive discharged COVID-19 patients and find distinguishing markers. The demographic features, clinical symptoms, laboratory results, comorbidities, co-infections, treatments, illness severities and chest CT scan results of 267 patients were collected from 1st January to 15th February 2020. COVID-19 was diagnosed by RT-PCR. Clinical symptoms and nucleic acid test results were collected during the 14 days post-hospitalization quarantine. 30 out of 267 COVID-19 patients were detected re-positive during the post-hospitalization quarantine. Re-positive patients could not be distinguished by demographic features, clinical symptoms, laboratory results, comorbidities, co-infections, treatments, chest CT scan results or subsequent clinical symptoms. However, re-positive rate was found to be correlated to illness severity, according the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) severity-of-disease classification system, and the confusion, urea, respiratory rate and blood pressure (CURB-65) score. Common clinical characteristics were not able to distinguish re-positive patients. However, severe and critical cases classified high according APACHE II and CURB-65 scores, were more likely to become re-positive after discharge.
