Abstract

A 55-year-old man with hypogammaglobulinemia due to previous rituximab treatment developed persistent coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia. Treatment with REGN-COV2 (casirivimab and imdevimab) resulted in the clearance of the infection. Targeted antiviral antibodies may be an important weapon in the management of immunocompromised patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 who fail to mount an immune response.
