Abstract

In the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic there are many questions regarding the safe treatment of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Many of these questions cannot yet be answered on an evidence-based basis and this does not make patient care easy. The German Society for Rheumatology (DGRh) hopes that these initial recommendations will provide support for specific issues in the care of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases in view of the current threat posed by SARS-CoV-2. In order to take advantage of the dynamic worldwide gain in knowledge for our patients, the recommendations will be updated regularly. The updated versions of the recommendations are deposited on the homepage of the DGRh.

In der aktuellen SARS-CoV-2 Pandemie bestehen viele Fragen mit Blick auf die sichere Behandlung von Patienten mit entzündlich-rheumatischen Erkrankungen. Auf viele dieser Fragen gibt es zur Zeit noch keine evidenzbasierte Antwort und das macht die Betreuung der Patienten nicht leicht. Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Rheumatologie e. V. (DGRh) will mit diesen ersten Empfehlungen Hilfestellung für spezielle Belange in der Betreuung von Rheumapatienten angesichts der aktuellen Bedrohung durch SARS-CoV-2 geben. Um den dynamischen weltweiten Erkenntnisgewinn für unsere Patienten zu nutzen, werden die Empfehlungen regelmäßig aktualisiert. Die aktualisierten Versionen der Empfehlungen werden auf der Homepage der DGRh hinterlegt.
