#ACR21 Anti-IFN autoantibodies predisposing patients to severe COVID ...🤔 And can be done with quantiferon test! https://t.co/n3h4vpQGdR
Dr. Cush reviews the news, and kicks off ACR21 learning and how to take in the annual meeting.
Mysteries behind polyautoimmunity have confounded rheumatologists for decades. One such association, the co-existence of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), remains rare. In fact, we believe the rate to be between 0.5% and 7.5%. Two abstracts looking at axSpA and FMF were highlighted during ACR Convergence 2021.
Since the start of the pandemic, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was forced into the limelight for the prevention/treatment of COVID-19. When it was found to be ineffective for COVID-19 and might cause potential harm, the drug came under closer scrutiny for its safety profile.

@DoctorYasmin concludes her wonderful, innovative keynote address by noting 2 things she would like to see change moving forward:
1. How we tend to the wellness of providers
2. Improving communication amongst medical colleagues & communication to the public.

There is a lot of talk about #COVID19 vaccines, however we don't much about existing vaccines (eg flu) in our patients! Much more work to be done here in rheumatology! @DrDavidKarp at #ACR21 opening session @rheumnow

@DoctorYasmin: "Let's talk about the history ... let's build bridges." We individualize approach to treatments, we should also individualize our conversation about vaccine hesitancy to your patient's specific concerns. @rheumnow #ACR21 https://t.co/1Jxw8l2phB

@DoctorYasmin @RheumNow Great discussion #ACR21 @DoctorYasmin: how do we stop panic/misinformation during a pandemic?
To improve health literacy, we need to learn how to engage better:
- understand the issues/public thinking
- targeted messaging to different communities
- avoid medical hubris

@DrDavidKarp: "We are learning about #COVID19 vaccine, but we don't know what to do about the other vaccines." Its a great opportunity for us to learn, research, and educate about the flu, shingles, pneumonia, and more vaccines. 💉 @RheumNow #ACR21

@DoctorYasmin notes that anti-vaccination is not a new phenomenon & that we cannot adopt a "one size fits all" method in tackling vaccine hesitancy. She emphasizes the need for targeted messaging & the ideology that vaccination is anti-American must be debunked! #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/cU33XEOYhM
