The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause mild, moderate or severe disease (COVID-19). In severe disease, there is hyperinflammation causing severe symptoms. Severe COVID-19 is an immunological phenomenon, rather than a direct viral damage disease. Therapies for COVID-19 are all investigational therapies. In case of severe disease, treatment with a calcineurin inhibitor could be promising. In this article we explain the mechanisms of calcineurin inhibitor treatment for COVID-19, based on experiences seen in solid organ transplant recipients who suffered from COVID-19.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)可引起轻症、中症或重症疾病(COVID-19)。在重症疾病中,存在过度炎症反应,导致严重症状。严重 COVID-19 是一种免疫现象,而不是直接的病毒损伤疾病。COVID-19 的治疗均为试验性治疗。在重症疾病中,钙调神经磷酸酶抑制剂治疗可能有希望。本文基于实体器官移植受者 COVID-19 发病经验,解释钙调神经磷酸酶抑制剂治疗 COVID-19 的作用机制。
