Résumé

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infection that appeared in December 2019. .e risk of infection seems to be
increased in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases due to both immune disturbances related to the disease and treatment. In
this case report, we describe the clinical features of 5 rheumatic immune disease patients with the concomitant presence of
COVID-19. Among these patients, 3 had rheumatoid arthritis and 2 had systemic lupus erythematosus. Patients’ age ranged
between 38 and 63 years. Only one patient (SLE) had a severe subtype of COVID-19. All the patients were cured of COVID-19 and
were subsequently discharged.
