CLL patient Mazen D. shares his story of contracting and recovering from COVID-19

[bkoffman]

Mazen D.'s story: In the early autumn of 2020, Mazen D., a CLL patient who had contracted and recovered from COVID-19, shared his story with the CLL Society. While COVID-19 can be life threatening for some CLL patients, many never require hospitalization. We thank Mazen for his kindness in showing us a course and outcome of COVID-19 in CLL patients that is less frequently written up. cllsociety.org/2020/09/maze...

Thank you so much for posting this.

Brian thanks for posting this, and thanks to Mazen D. An example of an untreated patient (what, a couple or three years after CLL diagnosis?) who had a relatively mild illness.

The more patients who share their Covid stories, the better picture we can form - so far severity and symptoms seem to vary quite a lot. Is anyone still compiling clinical data on CLL patients with Covid?

Lots of ongoing research
