ABSTRACT

After initially appearing in Wuhan (China), the COVID-19 epidemic rapidly escalated to pandemic level. Due to its high mortality COVID-19 belongs to the group of the most dangerous viral infectious diseases of today. While elderly people are at greatest risk of death, some comorbidities, including also malignant tumors, considerably worsen the course of COVID-19. In view of inherent immunodeficiency exacerbated by immunosuppressive chemotherapy, oncohematological diseases most greatly affect the course of COVID-19. The review presents few published data on coronavirus disease affecting the prognosis of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors. In addition, the control of mortality risk in these patients is discussed.

Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, hematological diseases, mortality rate.
