Sustained Response After Remdesivir and Convalescent Plasma Therapy in a B-Cell-Depleted Patient With Protracted Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Abstract

We provide detailed clinical, virological, and immunological data of a B-cell-depleted patient treated with obinutuzumab for follicular lymphoma with protracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and viremia. A sustained response was achieved after 2 courses of remdesivir and subsequent convalescent plasma therapy. Immunocompromised patients might require combined and prolonged antiviral treatment regimens.
