The Outcome of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Patients with Lymphoma and the Risk Factors for the Development of Pneumonia.
Background: Although patients with lymphoma appear particularly vulnerable to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the clinical evolution of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a patient with lymphoid malignancies has been under-represented, especially in relation to chemo-, chemo-immunotherapy.
Materials and methods: Among adult patients with lymphoma receiving treatment in a specialized lymphoma center at a 500-bed, university-affiliated hospital, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection from January 2020 to April 2022.
Results: A total of 117 patients with a median age of 53 years were included. One hundred twelves (95.7%) were non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Eighty-six patients (73.5%) were on active chemotherapy and 9 were post stem cell transplant state. Sixty-one patients had more than one comorbidity and 29 had hypogammaglobulinemia. Thirty-four patients (29.1%) had never received a COVID-19 vaccine. During a median follow-up of 134 days, COVID-19 pneumonia developed in 37 patients (31.6%). Excluding three patients who died before the 30 days, 31 out of 34 patients had ongoing symptomatic COVID-19. Eleven patients (9.4%) had post COVID-19 lung condition that persisted 90 days after COVID-19 diagnosis. Overall mortality was 10.3% (12 of 117), which was higher in patients with pneumonia. In multivariate analyses, age 65 years or older, follicular lymphoma, receiving rituximab maintenance therapy, and lack of vaccination were significantly associated with the development of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Conclusion: Patients with lymphoma are at high risk for developing pneumonia after SARS-CoV-2 infection and suffer from prolonged symptoms. More aggressive vaccination and protective measures for patients with lymphoma who have impaired humoral response related to rituximab maintenance therapy and hypogammaglobulinemia are needed.
