The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has become a global health emergency. Treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD) according to the standards includes the use of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), corticosteroids, cytostatics, and biological therapy. However, these treatments can weaken the immune system, which potentially puts COPD patients at increased risk of infections and infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Therefore, patients with CVD have a greater risk of developing COVID-19 and more severe clinical course, or even death, compared to the general population.
"It was an ordinary day, a cold morning. I was sleeping after a night shift and woke up from the fact that massive shelling had begun. A tank unit of 16 tanks approached us. Our armored personnel carrier was shot down before my eyes and I ran to help pull the guys out, but did not I ran a little, there were about seven meters left, I could hear the whistle of shells, explosions and darkness ... I rubbed my eyes from the ground and saw that there was a bare bone in the place of the arm, I thought that I should see what was happening with my legs, if I could move. "I thought that I would die, but I was lying, I realized that I would not die for a long time, that I would live and I had to do something, and I put on a tourniquet," the military man says.

Ингибиторы JAK ( тофацитиниб и др.) селективно влияют на внутриклеточную сигнальную систему JAK/STAT, опосредующую действие многих цитокинов, участвующих в патогенезе неспецифического язвенного колита. В отличие от генно-инженерных биологических препаратов, ингибиторы янус-киназа представляют собой низкомолекулярные синтетические средства, предназначенные для перорального приема. Тофацитиниб рекомендуют назначать пациентам с тяжелым и среднетяжелым течением неспецифического язвенного колита. Ингибиторы JAK могут нарушать вирусный иммунитет. Рекомендуется использовать низкую эффективную дозу для поддержания ремиссии: по возможности 5 мг, вместо 10 мг, два раза в день. Избегайте применения тофацитиниба во время пандемии, если нет других альтернатив. Это позволит пациентам избежать возможных побочных эффектов и частого наблюдения за патологией.
