Because of in vitro studies, hydroxychloroquine has been evaluated as a preexposure or postexposure prophylaxis for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and as a possible COVID-19 curative treatment. We report a patient with sarcoidosis who was receiving long-term hydroxychloroquine treatment and contracted COVID-19, despite adequate plasma concentrations.
