Impact of COVID-19 on the management of patients with Lysosomal Storage Disorders

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) characterized by multisystemic involvement with multi-organ complications. The recent Covid-19 pandemic had a major impact on the management and treatment of patients with LSDs, who also experienced significant psychological distress following the pandemic. Several experiences described so far demonstrate that telemedicine and home therapy programs are valid tools for the follow-up and care of patients suffering from these complex chronic diseases.
