Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with severe immune abnormalities are at risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). The definition, prevention, and treatment of symptoms of CRS in critically ill patients with COVID-19 are important problems. We report a single-center case series of 11 COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome from The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University in China from 26 January 2020 to 18 February 2020. The termination date of follow-up was 19 February 2020. Eight patients were determined to have characteristics of CRS, including pulmonary inflammation, fever, and dysfunction of nonpulmonary organs. An increase in interleukin-6 in peripheral blood was the highest risk factor and an early indicator of CRS in COVID-19.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者若伴有严重免疫异常,则有发生细胞因子释放综合征(CRS)的风险。因此,对于 COVID-19 重症患者,CRS 症状的定义、预防和治疗是重要问题。我们报道了中国广州医科大学附属第一医院 2020 年 1 月 26 日至 2 月 18 日期间收治的 11 例急性呼吸窘迫综合征 COVID-19 患者的单中心病例系列研究。随访截止日期为 2020 年 2 月 19 日。8 例患者具有 CRS 的特征,包括肺部炎症、发热和非肺部器官功能障碍。外周血白细胞介素 6 升高是 CRS 的最高风险因素和 COVID-19 的早期指标。
