“We checked again and saw a CT scan. We asked the patient about any previous history of joint pain. She said she was suffering from joint pain and stiffness, and she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the past. However, she did not need much medication.” Recently, but now she needs oxygen support.
Then we diagnosed her with interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis, and the rheumatologist confirmed that a diagnosis and treatment plan for the joints was in place, the treatment performed was different from COVID, and required steroids and other immunosuppressants, counseling and rehabilitation procedures.
The doctor added, “We were able to return her to her home within two weeks without oxygen. A follow-up appointment was scheduled after a month and she was doing well in treatment.”
