Topic:

  • Gong et al. analyzed correlation between disease severity and inflammation-related parameters in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. They analyzed blood inflammation indicators among mild, severe, and critical patients, to help identify severe or critical patients early. They report age, interleukin-2 receptor, C-reactive protein, Ferro-protein, white blood cell and lymphocyte counts should be closely observed. IL-6, TNFα and IL-8 might be promising therapeutic targets.
