Challenges in the diagnosis, treatment and management of asthma during COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract People over the age of 65 and those suffering from chronic diseases, such as asthma, are part of the risk group for severe acute respiratory syndrome-COV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In the past, a connection between viral infections and asthma has been presented. Patients with asthma appear to be at risk of contracting viral infections, and also viruses can cause asthma exacerbations. Another concern during this period was about the chronic administration of corticosteroids in asthmatic patients, because of the consideration that corticosteroid therapy would decrease the immunity of these patients, thus increasing the risk of infections, including the infection with SARS-CoV-2. Thus, several questions have emerged about the role of corticosteroid therapy in the development of COVID-19 in patients undergoing corticosteroid treatment. Most guidelines recommend continuing the administration of chronic treatment to this category of patients. At the same time, the health system had to adapt to the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and deviate from the standard methods of managing most chronic diseases and these changes had an impact on these category of patients..
