Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how COVID-19 affects patients with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), focusing on morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality rates.
- Data from 188 AOSD patients revealed that 75.5% had confirmed or suspected COVID-19, with those on higher doses of glucocorticoids or JAK inhibitors at greater risk for severe illness.
- Although some patients experienced AOSD flares after COVID-19, the overall relapse rate did not significantly differ compared to those without COVID-19, highlighting the need for further research on these relationships.
Objective: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoinflammatory disorder. The understanding of the changes in adaptive immune cells and the crosstalk between innate and adaptive immune systems in AOSD is limited. This study aimed to examine the peripheral immune cell composition and inflammatory protein levels in AOSD patients.
