The prolonged RT-PCR positivity, despite convalescent plasma infusion, may suggest that the given antibodies may be ineffective in terms of viral clearance. In patients with hematological malignancies or immunosuppression, such as ASCT, may lead to prolonged viral shedding, and strict isolation is warranted for long-term SARS-CoV-2 infection control. A case whose viral shedding lasted 60 days is reported from China Our patient had also undergone bone ASCT thus, underlying immunosuppression might lead to prolonged shedding. In patients with hematological malignancies or immunosuppression such as ASCT may lead to J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f prolonged viral shedding and strict medical precautions and isolation rules should be followed for SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-253380-oymg1bba.txt ./txt/cord-253380-oymg1bba.txt
