However, firm knowledge of the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with IRD is missing, and therefore, evidence-based recommendations for the management of COVID-19 in patients with rheumatic disorders and antirheumatic treatments are lacking. As necessary data cannot be extracted from clinical charts or health insurance records, the DGRh and the Justus-Liebig University Giessen decided to establish a web-based registry, which allows a rapid and timely collection of IRD cases with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in Germany to analyse the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infections in patients with IRD and to develop guidance for the management of patients with IRD during the COVID-19 pandemic. ./cache/cord-297127-nhgm09db.txt ./txt/cord-297127-nhgm09db.txt
