(Abst.) DMTs and COVID-19 severity in MS
« on: January 24, 2021, 04:18:21 pm »

People with MS seem to get COVID-19 in pretty much the same way as other people--not more or less severely.  But those taking ocrelizumab or rituximab were at significantly greater risk of a more severe case of COVID-19, as were those who had had methylprednisolone less than a month before.

From PubMed (January 24, 2021)--"Disease-modifying therapies and COVID-19 severity in multiple sclerosis":

SPMS, diagnosed 1980. Avonex 2001-2004. Copaxone 2007-2010. Glatopa (glatiramer acetate 40mg 3 times/week) since 12/16/20.
