Abstract

A range of disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, colitis and Crone's disease develop when the immune system overreacts and begins to attack the body. It is unknown whether patients suffering from such diseases are particularly at risk of becoming seriously ill if they are given Covid19. A team of researchers at the Danish serum institute, SSI, will therefore investigate their risk and the impact of the medicine they are already taking on the course of COVID-19 in these patients.
