Asthma prevalence in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection detected by RT-PCR not requiring hospitalization

Respiratory Medicine Sep 15, 2020

Garcia-Pachon E, Zamora-Molina L, Soler-Sempere MJ, et al. - A consecutive series of patients who tested positive in the RT-PCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 and did not require hospital admission was examined for the presence of asthma. They assessed a total of 218 patients (58% of those who tested positive) in whom hospitalization was not required. A previous diagnosis of asthma was reported in six patients (2.8%). A mild aggravation of asthma symptoms linked with SARS-CoV-2 infection developed in only one patient. This suggests that there were few patients with asthma who were infected with SARS-CoV-2, and indicates no significant causative role of this infection in asthma exacerbation.
