Here we report two cases of myeloma patients who became positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection during the acute phase of autologous stem cell transplant. Both patients were promptly treated with monoclonal antibodies and remdesivir, and, despite the profound neutropenia and lymphopenia, they did not develop respiratory failure and they remained paucisymptomatic during the entire period of aplasia. Neutrophil engraftment took place as expected and the patients were discharged quickly and did not experience adverse effects after discharge. This article is protected by copyright.
