Abstract
COVID-19 is a pandemic that has been affecting the entire world and has caused the death of approximately 2.8 million people. Although the duration of viral shedding varies, an average of 7-10 days is accepted. It is still unclear whether prolonged viral shedding means prolonged contagious period and whether COVID-19 will become chronic or not. This article presents a case with hematological malignancy (lymphoma) with the longest polymerase chain reaction positivity that we could find in the literature (110 days in total).
期刊介绍：
Turkish Thoracic Journal (Turk Thorac J) is the double-blind, peer-reviewed, open access, international publication organ of Turkish Thoracic Society. The journal is a quarterly publication, published on January, April, July, and October and its publication language is English. Turkish Thoracic Journal started its publication life following the merger of two journals which were published under the titles “Turkish Respiratory Journal” and “Toraks Journal” until 2007. Archives of both journals were passed on to the Turkish Thoracic Journal. The aim of the journal is to convey scientific developments and to create a dynamic discussion platform about pulmonary diseases. With this intent, the journal accepts articles from all related scientific areas that address adult and pediatric pulmonary diseases, as well as thoracic imaging, environmental and occupational disorders, intensive care, sleep disorders and thoracic surgery. Clinical and research articles, reviews, statements of agreement or disagreement on controversial issues, national and international consensus reports, abstracts and comments of important international articles, interesting case reports, writings related to clinical and practical applications, letters to the editor, and editorials are accepted.
