Abstract:
I will have a couple of comments on the issues elaborated in the article titled as 'Impact of COVID-19 in patients with lymphoid malignancies'. First, the author did not emphasize and overlook the prolonged persistence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with hematological malignancies. Second, the rise of a chronic lymphoid leukemia clone in COVID-19 was not mentioned by the authors. Third, achieving a complete remission in asymptomatic COVID-19 patients with follicular lymphoma in partial remission after bendamustine-based therapy is not specific to this lymphoma subtype. Fourth, follicular lymphoma does not always undergo complete remission with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our aim is to help the authors to discuss and clarify these issues a little more in COVID-19 patients with hematological malignancies.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
