ABSTRACT

Global widespread of current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged huge predicament to healthcare systems globally. This disease caused by a new beta-type coronavirus, known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), may lead to systemic multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and subsequently cause death due to abundant angiotensin converting enzyme 2 as its functional receptors throughout body. Oncology patients even have a worse prognosis with greater infection susceptibility because they are in a state of suppression of the systemic immune system due to malignancy and anticancer therapy. This problem makes adequate and appropriate treatment urgently needed. Through randomized clinical trials, various drugs were known to have good responses in COVID-19 patients. Here, we reported a-49-year-old-woman that was confirmed for COVID-19 by clinical manifestation, radiology profile, high procalcitonin concentration, and positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. The patient also had breast and thyroid cancers history and had undergone various therapeutic modalities such as chemotherapy, thyroid surgery, and breast surgery. She was undergoing hormone therapy but experiencing disease progression after achieving complete remission based on PET-CT scan 4 months before. The patient was treated with various antibiotics but showed a significant clinical improvement by administering moxifloxacin.
