To examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we interviewed 26 patients with lysosomal storage disorders receiving enzyme replacement therapy. 20 (77 %) had significant interruption in their treatment, with an average of 8 (range 2-28) missed doses. Alternate methods of delivering uninterrupted care including home therapy were used. Vulnerable patients with chronic genetic disorders require organization for their multidisciplinary needs of care.
为了研究 COVID-19 大流行的影响,我们采访了 26 名接受酶替代疗法的溶酶体贮积症患者。20 名(77%)的治疗出现了明显中断,平均漏用 8 剂(范围 2-28 剂)。采用了包括家庭治疗在内的其他方法来提供不间断的护理。患有慢性遗传性疾病的脆弱患者需要组织起来,以满足他们多学科的护理需求。
