@medicalaxioms#covid4MDs I have been following the information on the cytokine storm related to #COVID19. This is similar to MAS that occurs in SJIA and SLE patients or HLH that occurs in malignancy and other infections. This was documented in MERS a few years ago.
@medicalaxioms#covid4MDs The difference in HLH related to malignancy is the HLH protocol with etoposide, decadron etc is meant for those who may get bone marrow transplants. Rheumatologists treat this differently. Unfortunately many hospitals do not have inpatient rheumatology!
