In patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, the development of cytokine storm induces extensive lung damage, and monocytes play a role in this pathological process. Non-classical (NC) and intermediate (INT) monocytes are known to be involved during viral and bacterial infections. In this study, 30 patients with different manifestations of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection were investigated with a flow cytometric study of NC, INT, and classical (CL) monocytes. Significantly reduced NC and INT monocytes and a downregulated HLA-DR were found in acute patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 symptoms. Conversely in patients with moderate symptoms NC and INT monocytes and CD11b expression were increased. © 2020 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.
在严重的 SARS-CoV-2 感染患者中,细胞因子风暴的发展导致广泛的肺部损伤,单核细胞在这一病理过程中发挥作用。众所周知,非经典(NC)和中间(INT)单核细胞在病毒和细菌感染过程中参与其中。在这项研究中,通过流式细胞术研究 NC、INT 和经典(CL)单核细胞,对 30 名具有不同急性 SARS-CoV-2 感染表现的患者进行了调查。在严重 SARS-CoV-2 症状的急性患者中,发现 NC 和 INT 单核细胞以及 HLA-DR 显著减少。相反,在症状中等的患者中,NC 和 INT 单核细胞和 CD11b 表达增加。
