Lupus, arthritis patients not higher-risk for severe COVID19, say studies
WASHINGTON - Most adults with lupus or inflammatory arthritis are not at greater risk of hospitalization from COVID-19, a pair of studies said Tuesday, in what researchers said was reassuring news.
But the team said that the findings were overall positive news for patients of lupus and arthritis, who report feeling added anxiety that their treatments make them more susceptible to COVID-19. In the second study, researchers monitored 103 mostly white women treated between March 3 and May 4 for inflammatory arthritis .All either tested positive for COVID-19 or were probable cases. This was comparable to the rate seen for all New Yorkers of 25 percent.
