Case Study: Prolonged Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Shedding from an Asymptomatic Immunocompromised Individual with Cancer.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The data indicate that certain immunocompromised patients may shed infectious virus for longer durations than previously recognized, and detection of subgenomic RNA is recommended in persistently SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals as a proxy for shedding of infectious virus.

Synergetic measures needed to control infection waves and contain SARS-CoV-2 transmission (preprint)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the effectiveness and synergies of vaccination and different non-pharmaceutical interventions such as universal masking (surgical, N95/FFP2), distancing & ventilation, contact reduction, and testing & isolation as a function of compliance in the population.

COVID-19 and HSCT (Hematopoietic stem cell transplant)

TL;DR: Early treatment of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is an important means to decreasing risk for severe disease and death as discussed by the authors , while some HSCT recipients, particularly those who are early post-transplant and severely immunosuppressed, may have diminished response to COVID-19 vaccines.
