| Core Tip |
It is of utmost importance to differentiate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) manifestations from a relapse of the autoimmune disease. COVID-19 lung disease and interstitial lung disease may share similar pathological patterns. False positivity may complicate the serodiagnostics of COVID-19 in patients with autoimmune diseases. Maximum utilization of tele-medicine should be made when appropriate. Suspected COVID-19 patients should be treated by a multidisciplinary team with robust knowledge of immunosuppressive medication to carefully weigh the benefits and potential detrimental effects of the applied therapy. |
