Title : A case report of a 22 year old male diagnosed with SLE, with concomitant infections of COVID 19 moderate disease and HIV-AIDS

Abstract:

Background As the world presently navigates the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there is a growing need to assess its impact in patients with underlying immunocompromised states, including autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and HIV. Patients with SLE and People living with HIV (PLWH) are unique populations, when considering the risk of contracting COVID-19 and infection outcomes.

Background As the world presently navigates the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there is a growing need to assess its impact in patients with underlying immunocompromised states, including autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and HIV. Patients with SLE and People living with HIV (PLWH) are unique populations, when considering the risk of contracting COVID-19 and infection outcomes.

Conclusion In this report, we highlight the overlapping immunopathogenic mechanisms of COVID, SLE, and HIV AIDS, and how it could provide insight into immune responses occurring between SLE and severe cases of viral infections, as well as it might preempt PLWH about the potential of COVID to affect them in various ways, including the increased risk of COVID-19 acquisition and interruptions of their treatment and care.
