The main symptoms were cough (69 cases, 50.36%), expectoration (60 cases, 43.80%), and fever (53 cases, 39.69%). Chest CT examination revealed bilateral pneumonia in 47 cases (34.31%, 47\/137) and pleural effusion in 24 cases (17.52%, 24\/137). Among the cancer patients, 116 cases (84.67%, 116\/137) had solid tumors, and 21 cases (15.33%, 21\/137) had hematologic malignancies, with the main types being breast cancer (25 cases, 18.25%) and lung cancer (24 cases, 17.52%). Among the cancer patients, 46 cases (33.58%) were asymptomatic, 81 cases (59.12%) had mild disease, 10 cases (7.30%) had severe infection, and 8 cases (5.84%) died. A total of 91 patients (66.42%) had been vaccinated, with 58 patients (42.34%) receiving three doses. Multivariate analysis showed that cerebral infarction and hypoproteinemia were risk factors for death from COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drknowhk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fmed-11-1401439.pdf\">click here<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5c0d\u4e0d\u8d77\uff0c\u6b64\u5185\u5bb9\u53ea\u9069\u7528\u65bcEnglish\u3002By Li-Li Liu et al.
