INFECTIOUS DISEASE( COVID 19) MASTER CHART https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hS1DW0fw3DevK3ee42ViWCViDidip7n/view?usp=sharing FIRST CASE Question 1 Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic lung diseases that cause progressive scarring of the lung tissue, compromising respiratory function and blood oxygenation. The most common form is the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which in the vast majority of cases affects the older population, in a progressive fibrosing manner, resulting in severe respiratory failure and death within 3–5 years. In patients with preexisting ILD, COVID-19 infection has led to acute exacerbation of underlying ILD. The criteria for ILD exacerbation include subacute worsening of dyspnea and hypoxemia, new pulmonary infiltrates on imaging, and absence of pulmonary emboli, cardiac failure, and other non-pulmonary causes Question 2 Steroid therapy in covid affecting rheumatoid arthritis  There would be no worsening in RA
