Does Leronlimab work for severe covid 19? An anecdotal summary regarding my wife, a 70 y/o female with asthma, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.
My wife was intubated on Dec 17. Once she was taken off Bipap and intubated, her chances for survival dropped to the 33-50% range, and many of those survivors wind up forever on the ventilator in long term care facilities.
She received normal standard of care, including antibiotic and steroids (dexamethasone, methyl prednisone) for pneumonia and Remdisivir.
She got her first dose of Leronlimab on Dec 24, her 8th day of intubation. Second dose a week later on Dec 31.
She spent a total of 43 days on a vent, suffering a lung tear and a second bout with pneumonia from the ventilator and a few infections along the way. In spite of all the setback she managed to wean off the vent for good after 43 days, still requiring supplemental oxygen.
Her oxygen needs have steadily dropped, from 4 litres/minute to .5 litre/minute. Her o2 sats on .5 litre have consistently been 96-100. In fact, her oxygen line came off for 4 hours yesterday and she desatted down to an acceptable 90-91. Not even low enough to set off the monitor alarm.
Along the way I've had 2 doctors tell me flat out she should not be among the living.
Every single doctor who's treated her has told me she would require supplemental oxygen probably forever IF she was fortunate enough to get off the vent. Now it looks as if her oxygen needs will be sporadic at most.
She's rehabbing and since I'm willing to do a ton of work in order to get her home as quickly as possible, will probably be returning home next week.
Leronlimab have much to do with all this? I'm convinced it certainly did.
