Series Learning Objectives

  • Describe the pathogenesis of COVID-19 in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory disease including data on the contributions of both disease-specific factors and targeted therapies for disease progression.

  • Critically appraise the risks and benefits of biologic therapies and JAK inhibitors in all patients with immune mediated inflammatory diseases in the COVID-19 era.

  • Summarize recent revisions to major society guidelines for management of IMIDs as they relate to COVID-19.

  • Describe the research on how COVID-19 may induce or alter autoimmune reactivity in both healthy individuals and patients with pre-existing autoimmune diseases.

  • Describe standards for using monoclonal antibodies in the outpatient management of COVID-19 in high-risk patients with IMIDs.

  • Summarize recent data on COVID-19 vaccine boosters, effects of immunomodulatory therapies, and implications of viral variants in patients with IMIDs.

  • Critically appraise the efficacy and side effect data on agents approved or authorized by the FDA as well as agents showing potential for therapy in critically ill patients with COVID-19 who have inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, or dermatologic disorders.
