摘要
The disease caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is currently spread worldwide. Recent data supports SARS-CoV-2 may use integrins to enter human cells. Therefore, anti-integrins therapies might be an alternative against the infection. Natalizumab, approved for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) treatment, acts blocking alpha 4-integrin. We report a MS patient treated with natalizumab who develops COVID-19, with excellent recovery and repeated negative results in 5 consecutive microbiological studies. We postulate this may be due to the blockade of integrins induced by natalizumab.
