Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients in Singapore During COVID-19 Pandemic
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, are chronic inflammatory conditions which require long term treatment. There is no current data on whether IBD medications increase the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2, or its complications. However, the morbidity related to undertreated IBD is important and any measures undertaken to alter the delivery of care to IBD patients should be balanced. It is important to maintain disease control during this pandemic without compromising patient safety. |
