Prolonged and severe SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients under B-cell-depleting drug successfully treated: A tailored approach

Prolonged B-cell depletion due to anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAbs) therapy impairs the adaptive immune response, causing severe manifestations during COronaVIrus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). The cases of two patients under anti-CD20 therapy who experienced prolonged and severe COVID-19 successfully...
