COVID-19 and biologics in severe asthma: data from the Belgian Severe Asthma Registry.

[en] In a cohort of severe asthma patients, a small number of COVID-19 cases was found; none resulted in death or a very severe disease course. Use of biologics for severe allergic or severe eosinophilic asthma was not associated with a higher risk of COVID-19. https://bit.ly/3ndZmyD
