Summary Background Various observations have suggested that the course of COVID-19 might be less favourable in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases receiving rituximab compared with those not receiving rituximab. We aimed to investigate whether treatment with rituximab is associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Methods In this cohort study, we analysed data from the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, which included patients aged 18 years or older with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases and highly suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The primary endpoint was the severity of COVID-19 in patients treated with rituximab (rituximab group) compared with patients who did not receive rituximab (no rituximab group). Severe disease was defined as that requiring admission to an intensive care unit or leading to death. Secondary objectives were to analyse deaths and duration of hospital stay. The inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score method was used to adjust for potential confounding factors (age, sex, arterial hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, body-mass index, interstitial lung disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, corticosteroid use, chronic renal failure, and the underlying disease [rheumatoid arthritis vs others]). Odds ratios and hazard ratios and their 95% CIs were calculated as effect size, by dividing the two population mean differences by their SD. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04353609. Findings Between April 15, 2020, and Nov 20, 2020, data were collected for 1090 patients (mean age 55·2 years [SD 16·4]); 734 (67%) were female and 356 (33%) were male. Of the 1090 patients, 137 (13%) developed severe COVID-19 and 89 (8%) died. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, severe disease was observed more frequently (effect size 3·26, 95% CI 1·66–6·40, p=0·0006) and the duration of hospital stay was markedly longer (0·62, 0·46–0·85, p=0·0024) in the 63 patients in the rituximab group than in the 1027 patients in the no rituximab group. 13 (21%) of 63 patients in the rituximab group died compared with 76 (7%) of 1027 patients in the no rituximab group, but the adjusted risk of death was not significantly increased in the rituximab group (effect size 1·32, 95% CI 0·55–3·19, p=0·53). Interpretation Rituximab therapy is associated with more severe COVID-19. Rituximab will have to be prescribed with particular caution in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. Funding None.

To describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics and outcomes after antibiotic treatment of a national cohort of patients with Lyme arthritis confirmed by PCR testing on synovial fluid and by serology, when available. Objectives To describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics and outcomes after antibiotic treatment of a national cohort of patients with Lyme arthritis confirmed by PCR testing on synovial fluid and by serology, when available. Methods Using the French National Reference Center for Borrelia database, patients with a positive PCR on synovial fluid for Borrelia were identified. Patient clinical and biological characteristics were reviewed from patient records. Long-term outcomes after treatment were studied through a questionnaire and with follow-up data. Results Among 357 synovial fluid testing by PCR between 2010 and 2016, 37 (10.4%) were positive for Borrelia. Patients’ median age was 36 years (range 6–78) with 61% of men and 28% patients under 18. The presentation was monoarticular in 92% and the knee was involved in 97%. Contrary to the Borrelia species repartition in European ticks, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto was the most prevalent species found in synovial fluid (54%) followed by B. azfelii (29%) and B. garinii (17%). Antibiotic treatments were mainly composed of doxycycline (n = 24), ceftriaxone (n = 10) and amoxicillin (n = 6), for a median duration of 4 weeks (range 3–12). Despite a properly conducted treatment, 34% of patients (n = 12) developed persistent synovitis for at least 2 months (median duration 3 months, range 2–16). Among those, 3 developed systemic inflammatory oligo- or polyarthritis in previously unaffected joints with no signs of persistent infection (repeated PCR testing negative), which mandated Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARD) introduction, leading to remission. Conclusion In France and contrary to ticks ecology, Lyme arthritis is mainly caused by B. burgdorferi sensu stricto. Despite proper antibiotic therapy, roughly one third of patients may present persistent inflammatory synovitis and a small proportion may develop systemic arthritis. In such cases, complete remission can be reached using DMARD. journal article 2019 06 2018 09 28 imported
