Response to pegylated interferon in a COVID-19–positive elderly woman with primary myelofibrosis treated with ruxolitinib

Abstract

An 83-year-old female had asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection while taking ruxolitinib. She remained RT-PCR positive for viral RNA for >120 days, and Pegylated interferon for 4 weeks led to viral RNA clearance. The observations support combination therapy of ruxolitinib + interferon for COVID-19.
