Document: Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to concerns about potentially greater susceptibility of patients with rheumatic diseases (RDs) who are on disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and other immunosuppressants (IS). [1] With an estimated global burden of 20 million for rheumatoid arthritis alone, and much higher for other RDs combined, there is an urgent need to determine the change in current treatment strategies in the wake of the pandemic. [2] Patients with RDs have heightened susceptibility to infections, both due to long-term IS, and the disease itself. [3] A large proportion of them are elderly, with comorbid illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and cardiac disease, putting them at considerable risk for COVID-19 and poor outcome. [4] Thus, it is imperative to understand rheumatologists' perspectives on managing the RDs in such a situation and guide their current and future care.
