Live COVID Vaccine
Question:
Have you as a group outlined the various stages of danger should we as CLL patients contract COVID-19. Are some of us in more or less danger base on our genetic markers and blood numbers?
Answer:
There is no data that any particular marker portends a worse outcome with COVID-19, but it does make sense that if you are anemic or especially if you are neutropenic (low neutrophils) or have few or no normal B lymphocytes, often due to treatment with a monoclonal antibody, it is very possible that you will have a tougher time with the disease, but again there is no data.
