The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on patients with ANCA associated vasculitis.

CONCLUSION: The incidence of COVID-19 in patients with AAV appears to be similar to that of the general population. For a patient population that requires active clinical surveillance, there is significant disruption in care as a result of the pandemic. Reduction of immunosuppression may not be indicated, and the risk of relapse likely far outweighs the risk of COVID-19. PMID: 33034038 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
