Abstract
The authors present three cases of unvaccinated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients who exhibited symptoms of fever, sore throat, nausea, diarrhea, congestion, and headache. Although they refused COVID-19 vaccination, they presented for the casirivimab and imdevimab monoclonal antibody cocktail, which resulted in the resolution of all symptoms. The authors describe the mechanisms and importance of monoclonal antibody treatment for high-risk and unvaccinated patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.
