The poor success rate of treating patients with aggressive sepsis in SARS-CoV-2 infections has highlighted again the challenges of managing systemic inflammatory conditions. In this issue of JEM, Rodrigues et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201707) discuss the role of inflammasome activation in COVID-19 disease severity, opening new possibilities for therapeutic management of sepsis syndromes.
在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 感染患者中,治疗侵袭性败血症患者的成功率较低,这再次凸显了管理全身炎症性疾病的挑战。在本期《实验医学杂志》中,Rodrigues 等人(https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201707)讨论了炎症小体激活在 COVID-19 疾病严重程度中的作用,为败血症综合征的治疗管理开辟了新的可能性。
