LOBO-RODRIGUEZ, Carmen et al. Clinical characteristics of patients with affected inflammatory immune-mediated diseases by Covid-19. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.56-60. Epub Nov 21, 2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective:
Describe the incidence of Covid-19 by sex and specialty in patients with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease (IMID).
Methods:
Prospective observational study of patients in treatment at a Centre for Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases, march to june 2020.
Results:
The patients in follow-up were 1672, 3480 consultations were carried out, 2382 were telematic (68.4 %). The cases of covid-19 were 77 (4.60 %), were women 40 (51.98 %). The prevalent symptoms were: seca (81.8 %), myalgia/arthralgia (77.9 %), headache (68.8 %), fever (55.8 %) and pneumonia (22.4 %). Statistical differences were found in symptoms by specialty: myalgia / arthralgia (p=0.001), headache (p=0.011), fever (p=0.012). Hospital admission was required in 17 (22.10 %) patients and 3 (17.65 %) in the Intensive Care Unit.
