Methods This retrospective study included 178 symptomatic adult patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. The 178 patients were divided into FC (n = 108) and NF (n = 70) groups. Patients with at least two confirmed COVID-19 cases in their household were classified into the FC group. The clinical and laboratory features between the two groups were compared and so were the chest CT findings on-admission and end-hospitalization. Results Compared with the NF group, the FC group had a longer period of exposure (13.1 vs. 8.9 days, p less then 0.001), viral shedding (21.5 vs. 15.9 days, p less then 0.001), and hospital stay (39.2 vs. 22.2 days, p less then 0.001). The FC group showed a higher number of involved lung lobes on admission (3.0 vs. 2.3, p = 0.017) and at end-hospitalization (3.6 vs. 1.7, p less then 0.001) as well as higher sum severity CT scores at end-hospitalization (4.6 vs. 2.7, p = 0.005) than did the NF group. Conversely, the FC group had a lower lymphocyte count level (p less then 0.001) and a significantly lower difference in the number of involved lung lobes (Δnumber) between admission and discharge (p less then 0.001). Notably, more cases of severe or critical illness were observed in the FC group than in the NF group (p = 0.036). Conclusions Patients in the FC group had a worse clinical course and outcome than those in the NF group; thus, close monitoring during treatment and follow-ups after discharge would be beneficial for patients with familial infections.Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection; no current c
