Description
Farnoosh Khamseh and three colleagues report a case of COVID-19 lasting far longer than usual in a woman with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The sixty-nine-year-old patient kept testing positive for the virus for 127 days after her illness began.
She arrived with fever and cloudy patches on her chest scan, and blood tests showed liver and kidney strain beside very high lymphocyte counts. Standard treatments, including dexamethasone and remdesivir, did not clear the virus, and she died from lack of oxygen. The authors blame the leukaemia's weak antibody defenses and urge tailored care for such patients.
