Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir may lower long COVID risk in people with weak immune systems

Updated

Abstract

Essence

Acute nirmatrelvir/ritonavir use was associated with lower long COVID risk in immunodeficient patients.

Evidence

A retrospective study examined post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection after acute nirmatrelvir/ritonavir use in immunodeficient patients.

Caveat

The abstract provides no sample size or effect estimate, and the retrospective design leaves the finding in need of clinical trial confirmation.
