Immunopathology of Hyperinflammation in COVID-19

Joshua N. Gustine et al.

Summary: The rapid spread of COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented global public health crisis with recent studies suggesting that the hyperinflammatory syndrome induced by SARS-CoV-2 is a contributing factor to disease severity and mortality. Pathophysiological research shows that the hyperinflammatory syndrome in severe COVID-19 results from a dysregulated innate immune response. Current potential therapeutic approaches are being investigated to modulate the immune response and mitigate lung injury in severe COVID-19.

Elinor Tan et al.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis included 45 studies from 17 countries across four continents, involving 16,561 patients with severe COVID-19 admitted to ICUs. The study revealed that critically ill COVID-19 patients require substantial organ support, with a high mortality rate of 28.1% during hospitalization.

Compartmental immunophenotyping in COVID-19 ARDS: A case series

Andreas Ronit et al.

Summary: In critically ill patients with COVID-19 ARDS, there is a distinct immunological profile in the lungs, characterized by a dominance of immature neutrophils, lymphopenia of CD4 and CD8 T cells, and higher fractions of regulatory T cells and TH17 cells. The lung exhibits a heavily hyperinflammatory environment with upregulation of activation markers on CD4 and CD8 T cells and macrophages, along with high levels of various cytokines such as IL-1RA, IL-6, IL-8, IP-10, and MCP-1.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors during COVID-19 infection

Bariaa A. Khalil et al.

Summary: Chemokines play a crucial role in the immune response by clearing pathogens, but their excessive release can lead to hyperinflammation and severe complications. In COVID-19, chemokines may directly cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, increasing the risk of death. Understanding the role of chemokines in COVID-19 pathogenesis is important for developing potential therapeutic targets.

Sara Bulow Anderberg et al.

Summary: This study found that critically ill Covid-19 patients presented with an acute cytokine response upon admission, with correlations between respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, and 30-day mortality. Cytokine expression, particularly IL-8, showed a strong association with mortality outcomes in Covid-19 patients.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate serum cytokines in COVID-19 patients. The results indicated that IL-6 levels were significantly higher in moderate and severe COVID-19 groups, while IL-4 and IFN-gamma levels were significantly lower in the recovery group, and IL-10 levels were significantly higher in recovered COVID-19 patients.

Chemokines and eicosanoids fuel the hyperinflammation within the lungs of patients with severe COVID-19

Younes Zaid et al.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze and compare the presence of cytokines and lipid mediators of inflammation in the plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids of patients with severe COVID-19. The results showed high concentrations of numerous cytokines, chemokines, and lipid mediators in the BAL fluid of patients with severe COVID-19, indicating that hyperinflammation in the lungs of these patients is fueled by excessive production of chemokines and eicosanoids.
