[Pre-print] Tesch et al, 2023: #COVID19 survivors have a 43% excess risk of #autoimmune (AI) disease vs. uninfected. For people with AI diseases, excess risk of incurring a new one post-COVID is 23%. Rare vasculitises' occurences increased most markedly.

Results are up to 15mo. post-index date.

The vasculitises include #Wegener's disease (2.51x risk), #Behcet's (2.42x), #sarcoidosis (2.14x), & #arteritis temporalis (1.63x).

Risk of AI disease also increased markedly amongst adolescents (but was not statistically significant).

What was significant was that the excess risk of autoimmune disease increased according to the severity of the acute COVID-19 illness.
