As we know, the treatment of uveitis requires systemic treatment in the form of steroids and immunosuppressive therapy. jameliz sex tapes Alohavan<\/a> In these times of Coronavirus Pandemic, with hospitals only available for emergencies, you need to be aware of certain dos and don\u2019t when you\u2019re on treatment for uveitis<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What are the typical risk factors for COVID-19 infection?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Age > 50 years. This population is at a greater risk because of age-related debilitation of the immune system. Also, because this group is more likely to have multiple chronic illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure.<\/li>\n
  2. Heart disease, diseases of the pulmonary system\/ lungs and obesity.<\/li>\n
  3. Travel history to countries with high prevalence or contact with such persons.<\/li>\n
  4. Smoking<\/li>\n
  5. History of infection while on systemic immunosuppressive treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What are the precautions that patients with autoimmune uveitis who are on systemic immunosuppressive therapy must take?<\/h2>\n

    Patients who are on immunosuppressive therapy know that their doctor regularly monitors their blood counts. This practice must be continued and blood counts should be monitored at least once in 3 months. If the total white cell count is above 4000, there is no additional risk for acquiring the COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n

    Before starting the immunosuppressive therapy, your doctor would have explained about protecting yourself from infections<\/a><\/em> by practicing strict personal hygiene. In these times of Coronavirus pandemic here is a list of dos and don\u2019ts to avoid getting infected:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Do not start or stop your medication or change the dosage on your own. Please take your medicine as prescribed by your doctor.<\/li>\n
    2. Practice strict hand and personal hygiene. Keep washing your hands frequently with soap and water.<\/li>\n
    3. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Wear a mask if required, especially if there are sick people around.<\/li>\n
    4. Keep a distance of at least 2 metres to practice social distancing.<\/li>\n
    5. Stay at home and do not leave the house until absolutely necessary.<\/li>\n
    6. Sanitize or wash your hand immediately after using transaction machines for public use or wear gloves.<\/li>\n
    7. If your eye becomes red, painful and vision seems blurry, meet your doctor immediately or call the hospital number to get in touch.<\/li>\n
    8. Contact the doctor immediately if you have any symptoms of cough, fever, runny nose.<\/li>\n
    9. Do NOT use ibuprofen.<\/li>\n
    10. Stay away from rumours and do not self medicate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
