Oh. Darn.
Immunocompromised patients "may shed viable [replication competent, grown in culture] #SARSCoV2 for at least 2 months."

Doesn’t surprise me. I remained pcr positive on day 28 after first symptoms - (I am immunocompromised due to transplant medication). And kaput for another month after.

Interesting letter and a dimension to the pandemic I hadn't even considered! Wondering if anyone knows if this has been seen in other viruses such as influenza?

Good to see reports on "viable" virus instead of just PCR-detected virus -- that is very helpful to our understanding of potential contagion.

To what extent should this also raise concerns about vaccine efficacy in immunocompromised patients, and if so, would mAb prophylaxis be worth exploring as an alternative?

Wonder to what extent this could affect HIV-immunocompromised patients? Will have a huge impact on countries in Africa, India.

I was just thinking about this today in the context of the vaccines. Based on what I can find out so far, none of the candidate vaccines have recruited people using long-term immune suppression to control autoimmune conditions like IBD. Seems an important issue to address ...

Does this mean their isolation if infected needs to last at least 2 months?

I understand the immune compromised in this piece were d/t cancer. Have you or any colleagues come across trials from autoimmune diseases, d/t w biologics. Asking for a friend ;-p

This group lies. This means people can be infectious up to 2 months. I really wish we had a CDC director, FDA commissioner, and Surgeon General who tell the truth.

The correct test to assess for infectiousness is viral culture but most physicians don't get this test. I was only OK with Trump debating Biden because his viral culture results came back negative on Day 12.
