This paper reported a 64-year-old, secondary central nervous system lymphoma (sCNSL) patient with COVID-19 infection during CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy(CAR-T) following autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT). Our findings demonstrate that the combination of ASCT and CAR-T for sCNSL may be feasible,even for SARS-CoV-2 positive immunocompromised lymphoma patients.
