- A study aimed to estimate the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infections in patients with rheumatic diseases and analyze the proportions of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases.
- Researchers screened 283 patients (143 with spondyloarthritis and 140 with rheumatoid arthritis) for the virus at Cochin Hospital in Paris from June to August 2020, using serological tests to detect antibodies.
