Symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 reinfection in a lupus patient treated with hydroxychloroquine: a case report
Abstract Background Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have been used for hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 patients because of their antiviral and anti-inflammatory function. However, little research has been published on the impact of the immunomodulatory effect of (hydroxy)chloroquine on humo...

However, little research has been published on the impact of the immunomodulatory effect of (hydroxy)chloroquine on humoral immunity. Case presentation We report a case of symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 reinfection, diagnosed 141 days after the first episode, in a 56-year-old man of Black African origin treated with hydroxychloroquine for lupus erythematosus. No anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 IgG antibodies could be detected 127 days after the initial episode of coronavirus disease 2019. Conclusions The treatment with hydroxychloroquine probably explains the decreased immune response with negative serology and subsequent reinfection in our patient. As humoral immunity is crucial to fight a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, the use of (hydroxy)chloroquine is likely to have a detrimental effect on the spread of the virus. This case emphasizes that more needs to be learned about the role of antibodies in protecting against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (re)infection and the role of (hydroxy)chloroquine on humoral immunity.Astrid MuyldermansPiet MaesTony Wawina-BokalangaTine AnthierensOlivier GoldbergMagali BartiauxOriane SoetensIngrid WyboSigi Van den WijngaertDenis PiérardBMCarticleSARS-CoV-2COVID-19ReinfectionHydroxychloroquineLupusCase reportMedicineRENJournal of Medical Case Reports, Vol 15, Iss 1, Pp 1-4 (2021) |
