COVID-19 infection in chronic myeloid leukaemia after one year of the pandemic in Italy. A Campus CML report

Massimo Breccia et al.

Summary: Limited information is available on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). A retrospective study in Italy showed that during the pandemic, a majority of CML patients were infected with SARS-CoV-2, some stopped TKI therapy, and 12 patients died from COVID-19, highlighting the need for enhanced protection and management of CML patients.

Duration of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infectivity: When Is It Safe to Discontinue Isolation?

Chanu Rhee et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 is most contagious around symptom onset, with infectivity rapidly decreasing to near-zero afterwards; mild-moderately ill patients can safely discontinue isolation after about 10 days, while severely-critically ill and immunocompromised patients may need 15 days. The longest duration associated with replication-competent virus is 20 days.

Duration and key determinants of infectious virus shedding in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)

Summary: The study found that the median duration of shedding infectious virus in COVID-19 patients is 8 days, dropping below 5% after 15.2 days post onset of symptoms. High viral loads are associated with infectious SARS-CoV-2 isolation, while high serum neutralizing antibody titres are associated with non-infectious SARS-CoV-2.

Diagnostic performance of CerTest and Panbio antigen rapid diagnostic tests to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infection

Summary: The study showed that both CerTest and Panbio Ag-RDTs demonstrated excellent specificity but lower sensitivity. Higher sensitivity was observed when Ct values were <25, while significantly lower sensitivity was noted with Ct >25. Samples taken within the first 5 days of symptom onset showed higher sensitivity for both tests. Both Ag-RDTs exhibited excellent agreement with each other and with PCR for samples with high viral loads or those taken within the first 5 days after symptom onset.

Summary: After vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCov-19, rare immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia can occur due to platelet-activating antibodies against PF4, resulting in various thrombotic events. Most patients in this case series were women, with fatal outcomes such as cerebral venous thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhage. Additional studies are needed to further investigate and understand this phenomenon.

Lower response to BNT162b2 vaccine in patients with myelofibrosis compared to polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia

Summary: Among 42 Philadelphia negative myeloproliferative neoplasm patients receiving systemic active treatment, those with myelofibrosis showed significantly lower response to the anti-SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccine compared to patients with essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera in terms of IgG titers and seroprotection rates. The ongoing treatment with Ruxolitinib in some patients may be associated with reduced vaccine immunogenicity, but further large prospective studies are needed to confirm this finding.

The neutralizing antibody response post COVID-19 vaccination in patients with myeloma is highly dependent on the type of anti-myeloma treatment

Summary: Recent data shows suboptimal antibody response to COVID-19 vaccination in patients with hematological malignancies. Specifically, patients with multiple myeloma (MM) exhibit lower production of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) after vaccination compared to healthy controls, especially when undergoing treatment with anti-CD38 or belamaf. Timely vaccination, possibly during treatment-free periods, is emphasized for this group of patients.

Immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and early clinical outcomes in patients with haematological malignancies in Lithuania: a national prospective cohort study

Kazimieras Maneikis et al.

Summary: Patients with haematological malignancies exhibit blunted and heterogeneous antibody responses after receiving the full course of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination. Those actively treated with BTKIs, ruxolitinib, venetoclax, or anti-CD20 antibody therapies show the poorest responses, while patients who received tyrosine kinase inhibitors or various types of stem-cell transplantation had higher antibody responses. Severe breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections and deaths in fully vaccinated patients with haematological malignancies highlight the importance of continued adherence to non-pharmacological interventions and household vaccination.
