The presence of a complex immune dysregulation syndrome has been established in COVID-19 patients. We aimed to assess Th1/Th2 response in COVID-19 patients and its association with disease severity by performing a prospective cohort study in a tertiary hospital COVID-19 referral center. We report no difference between Th1/Th2 responses between patients with severe and mild disease, except for levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10. Future larger studies should examine lung-specific versus systemic inflammatory responses, as well as, diverse immunotypes driving poor clinical outcomes.
已经在 COVID-19 患者中确定存在复杂的免疫失调综合征。我们旨在通过在一家三级医院 COVID-19 转诊中心进行前瞻性队列研究,评估 COVID-19 患者的 Th1/Th2 反应及其与疾病严重程度的关系。我们报告重症和轻症患者之间的 Th1/Th2 反应没有差异,除了白细胞介素 6(IL-6)和白细胞介素 10(IL-10)水平。未来更大的研究应该检查肺部特异性与全身炎症反应,以及导致临床预后不良的不同免疫类型。
