Abstract :

An autoimmune disease called rheumatoid arthritis affects 0.5% to 1 of the general population. Due to hormonal factors, women are more likely to experience it. Pain and swelling are the main symptoms brought on by synovial inflammation, despite the fact that the specific etiopathology is unknown. Even while analgesics and biological treatments can put rheumatoid arthritis into remission, the condition is generally thought to be incurable. The 2019 coronavirus infection outbreak that it created had a devastating impact on the entire world. COVID-19 disease affected or killed people who had autoimmune conditions, compromised immune systems, or elderly people. Although there is a substantial danger of transmission, it seldom causes death. Organ failure and cytokine storm are two of the disease’s main clinical signs and symptoms. A patient would find it extremely difficult to live with such a clinical picture, which necessitates serious medical treatment.
Key words: Rheumatoid arthritis, Covid-19, Cytokine storm, Immunoglobulins, Interleukins.
