Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is characterized by dysregulated adaptive and innate immune responses, because both T and B cells, the function of phagocytes and the activity of the complement system may be affected.

We present the cases of two patients, whose <i>de novo</i> CLL were observed during severe COVID-19 pneumonia. A 43-year-old man with IDDM (Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) was sent to hospital in February 2021. He had a bilateral severe COVID-19 pneumonia. There was a suspected sign of malignancy on a thoracic vertebra in his chest CT, and haematological consultation was requested. In parallel, a 53-year-old man was hospitalized in March of 2021 because of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. CLL was suspected based on his haematology test results (WBC: 123 G/L, lymphocytes: 91%, haemoglobin: 107 g/L). Flow cytometric analysis revealed CLL in both cases.
