ABSTRACT
The authors present the case of a prolonged course of COVID 19 disease in a 37-year-old patient with multiple sclerosis on anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies immunotherapy. This publication presents a clinical case of the course of COVID-19 disease in a multiple sclerosis patient receiving ublituximab therapy. The use of disease-modifying anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy was associated with a protracted wave-like course of COVID-19 with the addition of a bacterial infection. This publication illustrates the key mechanisms and approaches to the treatment of such a cohort of patients. The use of highly effective multiple sclerosis treatment methods may be associated with an increase in the incidence of COVID-19 and worsening of its course. Multiple sclerosis patients receiving anti-CD20 therapy are at particular risk of a wave-like course of COVID-19, caused by immunosuppression, creates a basis for bacterial and fungal coinfection.
