Core Tip
Core Tip: We report a 103-year-old female with renal insufficiency and a history of hypertension. The patient was treated with two courses of Paxlovid at a full dose for 2 days and a half dose for 3 days. Although she had lung infection and heart failure during the treatment, they all improved after treatment and she was discharged from hospital 40 days after admission. This case suggested that Paxlovid can be applied cautiously in centenarians with coronavirus disease 2019 patients with renal insufficiency, and but the liver and kidney function of the patient should be closely monitored.
