COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV2 virus. The objective of our study is to analyze the progression and the severity of COVID-19 in patients with RA. Indeed, few data are available on this subject, and this would allow us to improve management of COVID-19 in these potential at-risk patients.
Inclusion criteria:
- Confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis (positive PCR or serology) in RA patients or healthy
controls.
Exclusion criteria:
- Age under 18 years old
- Suspected COVID-19 diagnosis (typical symptoms without a positive PCR or serology)
