Abstract
- We conducted an observational study to assess the impact of COVID-19 emergency on management and outcomes of patients with Fabry disease referring to our Center in Naples, Italy. No patient of the 129 included reported suspected symptoms; 3 isolated themselves in auto-quarantine for flu-like symptoms. All treated patients regularly continued their therapies; 8 missed one infusion: 3 for self-isolation with 2 relatives, and 3 refused to receive nurse at home. All elective procedures were deferred and telemedicine was adopted.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
