    AbstractA patient with follicular lymphoma treated with obinutuzumab and bendamustine experienced prolonged coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). One month after the symptoms transiently improved, the patient experienced exacerbated COVID-19 symptoms. The patient recovered from COVID-19 with remdesivir and dexamethasone and was discharged 77 days after the disease onset. The patient completed a primary series of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations on day 176, but the anti-spike protein IgG was not detected later. A careful observation to detect any subsequent relapse of COVID-19 symptoms is necessary in immunocompromised patients. Chemotherapy should be based on the disease status and type of lymphoma.
