⚠️NEW ONSET AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE—New study in 640k patients shows that #SARSCoV2 infection leads to ⬆️43% increased risk of developing **new-onset autoimmune diseases** after acute #COVID19 over. Another autoimmune disorder also exacerbated ⬆️23%. Not good!
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
2) Also, the new onset autoimmune diseases risk is seen in both women and men; young and old, and notably both hospitalized and NON-HOSPITALIZED #COVID19 patients. Ergo— it’s not just a problem in formerly severe patients.
3) Whoa — ⬆️ 55% higher risk of developing new onset Celiac disease after #COVID19 infection?! Wowzers.
4) More bad findings post #COVID19:
📌 41% ⬆️ higher risk of Grave’s disease
📌 42-45% ⬆️ higher risk of Rheumatoid arthritis
📌 25% ⬆️ higher risk of type 1 diabetes
📌 27-29% ⬆️ higher risk of Crohn’s disease
5) Also for the anti-vaxxers out there… the study was from early pandemic #COVID-infected folks before Dec 31 2020, and followup concluded by mid 2021 — vaccines were only available to non high risk people late in Q2 2021, so these long term findings are definitely NOT vaccine.
