Immunocompromised patients with prolonged coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We measured viral nucleocapsid antigenemia in 3 patients treated with anti-CD20 immunotherapy who acquired severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and experienced protracted symptoms. Our results support nucleocapsid antigenemia as a marker of persistent infection and therapeutic response.
患有持续性2019冠状病毒病症状的免疫功能低下患者面临诊断和治疗挑战。我们对3例接受抗CD20免疫治疗并感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2且症状迁延不愈的患者进行了病毒核衣壳抗原血症检测。我们的结果支持将核衣壳抗原血症作为持续性感染和治疗反应的标志物。
