Recombinant human plasma gelsolin (rhu-pGSN) in a patient hospitalized with critical COVID-19 pneumonia.

Abstract:

:Life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia follows an exaggerated immune response to SARS-CoV-2. pGSN levels fall after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Rhu-pGSN improves outcomes in models of inflammation. In an intubated patient with critical COVID-19 pneumonia and progressive hypoxemia despite standard care, improvement became evident during rhu-pGSN infusions with full recovery within a few weeks.

  • Cold agglutinin syndrome as a complication of Covid-19 in two cases.

    abstract:Background:Cold agglutinins are autoantibodies against RBC antigens, leading to hemolysis at less-than-physiological temperatures through complement fixation. Production can be triggered by infections, resulting in secondary cold agglutinin syndrome (CAS). This syndrome has been classically described in the setting of ...
