Abstract
Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may induce some complications among people who experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and some of them recover without requiring special treatment. Albeit, some individuals become seriously reached risk points and require special medical attention especially older people and people who suffer from chronic diseases. Serum and whole blood samples were collected from confirmed infected persons with SARS CoV-2 by real-time PCR and the control group. All lab. Investigations were performed using Cobas 6000. Significant differences were noted between patients compared to the control group in the Mean ± SD of IL-6 (76.06 ± 7.60 vs 3.61 ± 0.296 pg/ml), Procalcitonin (0.947 ± 0.117 vs 0.061 ± 0.007 ng/ml), CRP (125.3 ± 7.560 vs 4.027 ± 0.251 mg/dl), ALT (154.8 ± 30.47 vs 49.75 ± 2.977 IU/L) and AST (70.83 ± 9.215 vs 27.23 ± 1.767) respectively. While other parameters were also showed significant differences were noted between patients compared to the control group for D-Dimmer, PT, PTT, LDH, Ferritin, WBC, Lymphocyte and Creatinine. The results reached that the effect of SARS CoV-2 and cytokine storm was clear on the body’s organs through vital biomarker investigations that were performed in this study.
期刊介绍:
The journal Cytokine has an open access mirror journal Cytokine: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
* Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association studies, pathobiology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, new cytokines, and chemokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their mechanisms of actions, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.
We will publish 3 major types of manuscripts:
1) Original manuscripts describing research results.
2) Basic and clinical reviews describing cytokine actions and regulation.
3) Short commentaries/perspectives on recently published aspects of cytokines, pathogenesis and clinical results.
