Changes in the Cytokine Profile in Patients During COVID-19 Infection

Abstract

COVID-19 has proven to be a disease that affects not only the respiratory tract but also leads to a state of generalized systemic hyperinflammation and overall immune dysregulation. An important role in its pathogenesis is the disturbance of many cytokines – a condition which, in its most pronounced form, is also called a „cytokine storm“.
