Superspreaders are critical infectious resources in multiple infectious diseases. They can be asymptomatic or present mild symptoms but can transmit pathogens to susceptible populations

leading to severe symptoms

and even death. Early identification of this population is extremely important to inhibit the spread of infectious diseases. Right now

the whole global world is suffering from a devastating infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this article

a superspreader cluster event in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified by tracking contacting histories of infected patients. This cluster was found to be originated from an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carrier

which resulted in 13 secondary cases getting infected. All the secondary patients presented with non-typical symptoms of COVID-19

such as fever

dry cough

and myalgia

one of which died of respiratory failure at the end. From this cluster

we learn that people with older ages

low immunity

multiple underlying diseases

especially pulmonary diseases

can contribute to a poor prognosis. Thus

asymptomatic superspreaders of COVID-19 can be extremely dangerous and must be handled time-efficiently.
