Management of the patient with allergic and immunological disorders in the pandemic COVID-19 era

Abstract: The pandemic COVID-19 abruptly exploded, taking most health professionals around the world unprepared. Italy, the first European country to be hit violently, was forced to activate the lockdown in mid-February 2020. At the time of the spread, a high number of victims were quickly registered, especially in the regions of Northern Italy which have a high rate of highly-polluting production activities. The need to hospitalize the large number of patients with severe forms of COVID-19 led the National Health Syste… Show more

“…Additionally, understanding the individual preferences and concerns regarding self-administration at home may also improve adherence to therapy and well-being of the patient (21). These results corroborated previous results (12,22), that reported self-administration can be a useful tool to maintain adherence to biological therapies. This is notable as it is well recognized that adherence to asthma inhaled therapy tends to be very poor, with the reported rates of nonadherence ranging from 30 to 70% (23).…”

[13][14][15][16] The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) has promptly released quality information and elaborated position papers and clinical recommendations for allergic disease care. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Implementing remote care was one of the most relevant recommendations proposed by international societies 14,20,25 to assess disease control, promote patients' compliance, oversee selfadministration of biologics, and provide patient education.…”
