Abstract
The use of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in multiple sclerosis (MS) could affect COVID-19 outcomes by modulating the immune response, which, in turn, might favor viral replication and/or confer protection from COVID-19 induced inflammatory response CASE REPORT: We report on two MS patients treated with cladribine, with heterogeneous demographics and clinical features, who developed mild or no symptoms from COVID-19 and produced anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, notwithstanding low lymphocyte levels.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
