Recovery from COVID-19 in two patients with coexisted HIV infection.

: COVID-19 has become a global health concern. HIV-infected patients are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 due to their immune-compromised status. The clinical manifestations and clinical outcomes of these patients are not clear. In this report, we presented two special COVID-19 patients with HIV infection and other comorbidities. We described the clinical characteristics, clinical manifestations, treatments and clinical outcomes of both patients. One patient with prior HIV-infection continued anti-HIV treatment when diagnosed with COVID-19. The other patient was newly diagnosed with HIV-infection when diagnosed with COVID-19 and had not begun anti-HIV treatment. Both patients were treated with anti-viral, antibiotics, oxygen treatment and supportive care and recovered from severe pneumonia. The experience of these two cases suggested that COVID-19 patients with HIV infection could still have satisfactory clinical outcomes following proper medical care.
