A remarkable new NEJM study has shown that the prophylactic administration of monoclonal antibodies reduces the risk of household contacts developing symptomatic or asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2. For those who did develop symptomatic infection, monoclonal antibodies reduced to duration of disease and the duration of high viral load. This study opens up the possibility of a new tool to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 to vulnerable patients in our hospitals. Is the future of managing hospital contacts of SARS-CoV-2 the prophylactic administration of monoclonal antibodies?
