METHODS: : In this paper we report on a patient that has been treated with type 1 interferon for multiple sclerosis who developed COVID-19. DISCUSSION: : This report supports the idea of using type 1 interferon in the treatment could be effective in COVID-19 affected patients. Effect of type 1 interferon (such as IFN-α and IFN-β) therapy as a potential treatment against coronavirus (COVID-19, MERS and SARS) was shown in many studies and researches are maintaining, more comprehensive data will be available soon [1, 2, 3] . A recently published study has supported that type 1 interferons can be used as a potential therapy against COVID-19 [1] . This case made us consider that interferon therapy might have favorable effect on severity of symptoms and length of hospital stay of patients with COVID-19. ./cache/cord-272426-0bpod47w.txt ./txt/cord-272426-0bpod47w.txt
