COVID-19 on patients with immune-mediated rheumatic disease: a comparative study of disease activity, fatigue, and psychological distress over six months
Post-COVID-19 IMRD patients exhibited significant fatigue, depression, anxiety, and stress, which can be mistaken for disease activity, despite having similar disease activity scores. The variability in reports on IMRD flares and the potential triggering of SARS-CoV-2 for autoimmune manifestations underscore the need for detailed clinical assessment and a comprehensive approach to managing them.
