Variant Diagnosis Has Doctors Struggling With Virus Treatment Decisions

Tue, 2022-01-04 20:32 — mike kraft

High-risk patients carrying the delta variant could benefit greatly from two particular monoclonal antibody treatments shown to reduce hospitalization and death. But those medications would most likely do nothing for patients with omicron, who would only respond to a third antibody treatment that is in very short supply.
