“ These findings suggest that the early administration of IFN-a2 or -ß, the two clinically available human type I IFNs, might be beneficial to patients with inborn errors of, or auto-Abs against type I IFN infected with SARS-CoV-2.”
“ This patient is the only known individual with neutralizing auto-Abs against type I IFNs not to have developed life-threatening pneumonia on infection with SARS-CoV-2 [1]. This observation suggests that patients with auto-Abs against IFN-a and/or IFN-?, but not against IFN-ß, could benefit from early treatment with three intramuscular injections of IFN-ß, or a single subcutaneous injection of Peg-IFN-ß, or inhaled IFN-ß [5]. Moreover, IFN-ß could also be considered in specific groups, in which the prevalence of auto-Abs is high, such as men over the age of 65 years [1].”
