The impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Asthmatic patients.
2021
There is some evidence to date that among the adult patients admitted to the hospital with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), people with asthma are overrepresented. In consideration of the diverse clinical manifestations of COVID-19, screening criteria for COVID-19 can be extended to those with deteriorating respiratory symptoms, even those with asthma. Those initiating screening should use adequate personal protection equipment. Nebulization is an aerosol-generating surgical technique which can raise the risk of SARS-CoV-2 aerosolization and transmission of infections. Recent studies found that asthmatic patients have the same risk as other patients for COVID-19 but preventive measures and commitment to treatment tis very important to avoid infection.
