Abstract
Immunocompromised patients have an increased risk of persistent COVID-19 disease. We report here the clinical course of two patients with hematologic malignancies hospitalized due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In both patients, viral evolution including new spike gene mutations that occurred following treatment with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies preparations, including convalescent plasma and bamlanivimab. These cases demonstrate the possibility of antibody-resistant SARS-CoV-2 infections evolution in immunocompromised patients.
