How do we know when we become immune compromised?
This content was current as of the date it was released. In science and medicine, information is constantly changing and may become out-of-date as new data emerge.
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.
Remember that we cannot give medical advice and any suggestions should be reviewed with your treating doctors.
