    TLDR Hydroxychloroquine may help COVID-19 patients with lupus.
    The document discussed the management of COVID-19 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), highlighting the increased risk of severe infection due to immunosuppressive drug use and the autoimmune nature of the disease. It presented a case of a patient with SLE, lupus nephritis, and other complications who was treated with methylprednisolone and hydroxychloroquine for SLE, and azithromycin plus oseltamivir for COVID-19. The patient showed clinical improvement and was discharged after 24 days of hospitalization with negative RT-PCR results. The document noted that hydroxychloroquine had a beneficial effect on SARS-CoV-2 in patients with SLE who took the medication regularly.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
