Abstract | Background: Case Presentation: A 78-year-old man, who had four negative nucleic acid tests and a fifth positive, was admitted to our hospital. This patient was generally good upon admission and tested negative for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies even after receiving two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. On the 7th day of hospitalization, he developed a moderate ARDS. Improved inflammatory index and decreased oxygen index were primarily found in this patient, and a series of treatments, including anti- inflammation and oxygen therapies, were used. Then this patient's condition improved soon and reached two negative results of nucleic acid tests on the 18th day of hospitalization. Conclusion: At-home COVID-19 rapid antigen test could be complementary to existing detection methods, and the third booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine may be advocated in the face of the omicron BA.2 variant. Anti-inflammatory and oxygen therapies are still essential treatments for ARDS patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 variant.
