COVID-19 in a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia: a twisting tale

摘要

TO THE EDITOR: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a rare disease characterized by persistent clonal monocytosis. Specific features of CMML, such as autoimmunity and a tendency to mount a brisk leukemoid reaction, could be potentially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. In this report, we describe a case of CMML with COVID-19 and discuss the relevant evidence-based management considerations.
