COVID-19, caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can lead to severe infection and has been suggested to induce autoimmune phenomena. We report three cases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurring after COVID-19 infection and we present a systematic review of the literature of cases of RA post COVID-19. Our findings suggest that RA may be trigged by COVID-19 infection in genetically predisposed individuals.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)可导致严重感染,并且有人提出它会诱发自身免疫现象。我们报告了3例COVID-19感染后发生类风湿性关节炎(RA)的病例,并对COVID-19后RA病例的文献进行了系统综述。我们的研究结果表明,在具有遗传易感性的个体中,RA可能由COVID-19感染引发。
