For at-risk patients with COVID-19, a new therapy reaches South Florida hospitals

An experimental COVID-19 therapy made famous by President Donald Trump — monoclonal antibody treatment — is the latest tool that South Florida hospitals have for preventing death and severe illness from the novel virus.

But there’s a catch: it has to be given early for it to work, so hospital officials are pushing the message that people who feel ill should get tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and, if positive, call their physician or report to the emergency room as soon as possible.

That requires a certain degree of vigilance, said Madeline Camejo, chief pharmacy officer at Baptist Health of South Florida.

“People think they have the cold or they have sniffles, then three days have gone by and they’re getting a little sicker, then they have fever and chills,” Camejo said. “Some either break it at that point, or they start getting really sick and end up in our ER.”

But by the time many people get to the ER, Camejo said, “it may be too late to give you this.
