Prolonged COVID-19 infection in a patient with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia maintained on convalescent plasma until recovery with monoclonal antibodies
This case illustrates the limitations of CCP in patients with prolonged SARS-CoV-2 infection and highlights the effectiveness of mAbs in achieving viral clearance in severely immunocompromised hosts. It supports targeted use of mAb therapy in select high-risk populations and reinforces the importance of specific passive immunotherapy strategies (when available) for the management of viremia in immunodeficient patients.
