Un patient accueilli en réanimation fin décembre à l’hôpital Jean-Verdier, à Bondy (Seine-Saint-Denis) avait-il le Covid-19, alors que les premiers cas officiels datent de fin janvier?

C’est ce qu’a affirmé ce dimanche le Pr Yves Cohen, chef du service de réanimation des hôpitaux Jean-Verdier, à Bondy, et Avicenne, à Bobigny.

Sur les 24 patients, nous en avons eu un qui était positif au Covid-19, le 27 décembre, quand il était hospitalisé chez nous, à Jean-Verdier», a expliqué Yves Cohen sur BFMTV.

La PCR, rappelons-le, est une technique de biologie moléculaire d’amplification génétique, qui permet d’aller chercher dans un échantillon biologique la présence d’une séquence d’ADN ou d’ARN.

«On se demande si elle n’a pas été atteinte ainsi de manière asymptomatique.» Le patient et sa famille sont désormais en bonne santé.

Le vendredi 24 janvier, la ministre de la santé de l’époque, Agnès Buzyn, avait confirmé que trois cas avaient été diagnostiqués à Bordeaux et Paris.

Le médecin a appelé d’autres virologues à retester eux aussi «des PCR négatifs de la même période». »
