Introduction:

Patients with autoimmune system diseases constitute a vulnerable population for the development of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Objectives:

To determine the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients seen at the polyclinic.

Methodology:

Cross-sectional study patients assisted in an autoinmune disease center in the period April 2020-July 2021.

Results:

59 patients were analyzed, 19 had flares of the disease in the last year. 12 had SARS CoV-2 infection, 1 was admitted to moderate care. The median age of infected patients was 35 years. 55 received full vaccination.

Conclusions:

No association was found between COVID-19 infection and diseases flares as well as an increased rate of hospitalization or death. Lupus patients were the most vulnerable. The controls rate (face-to-face/telephone) was high for the entire population as well as the vaccination rate.
