Abstract

Objetivo: Descrever o impacto da infecção por COVID-19 em pacientes com doenças reumáticas autoimunes. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo não experimental do tipo revisão de literatura, utilizando artigos de pesquisa indexados publicados nos últimos 3 anos, em espanhol e inglês, em bancos de dados como o PubMed e Web of Science. Para a consulta nos diferentes mecanismos de busca, foram utilizadas palavras-chave como agente reumatológico, doenças autoimunes, COVID-19, doença reumática. Resultados: A infecção por COVID-19 em pacientes com doenças reumáticas autoimunes não é diferente da população em geral, e foi até mesmo demonstrado que existe um menor risco de infecção e doença infecciosa grave devido ao uso de drogas que reduzem a resposta sistêmica. Da mesma forma, a presença de comorbidades, o uso de corticosteroides ou rituximabe influenciam o curso clínico. Conclusões: O impacto da infecção COVID-19 em pessoas diagnosticadas com doença reumática autoimune são tão prováveis de serem infectadas quanto a população em geral. Foi até mesmo demonstrado que existe um risco reduzido de infecção e doenças infecciosas graves devido ao uso de drogas que reduzem a resposta sistêmica. Os principais sintomas encontrados foram febre, tosse, calafrios e dispneia.
