Abstract
Casirivimab/imdevimab, a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies, is currently approved for emergency use in high-risk ambulatory patients with early COVID-19 to reduce risk of hospitalization and/or death from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the United States, there is no approved monoclonal antibody therapy for patients hospitalized for complications due to acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. We describe here the use of casirivimab/imdevimab in a 52-year-old fully vaccinated, immunocompromised man admitted to the intensive care unit for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.Entities:
