Association of Self-reported COVID-19 Infection and SARS-CoV-2 Serology Test Results With Persistent Physical Symptoms Among French Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Joane Matta et al.

Summary: The study found that self-reported and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infections were associated with persistent physical symptoms, with the latter specifically linked to anosmia. It is suggested that persistent symptoms should not be automatically attributed to SARS-CoV-2, and a complete medical evaluation may be needed to properly identify the causes.

Dyspnoea, lung function and CT findings 3 months after hospital admission for COVID-19

Tori Vigeland Lerum et al.

Summary: The long-term pulmonary outcomes of COVID-19 after 3 months of hospital admission include chest CT opacities and reduced diffusing capacity in one-fourth of the participants. ICU patients did not show significant differences in dyspnoea scores and lung function, but had a higher prevalence of abnormal chest CT findings.

Immunity and inflammatory biomarkers in COVID-19: A systematic review

Ana Paula D. Iwamura et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is a clinical syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2, with patients showing a range of symptoms from respiratory and gastrointestinal issues to potential multiple-organ failure. The severity of the disease is linked to the balance between antiviral and immune responses. An analysis of hospitalized patients indicated that lymphocyte counts are low in severe cases, while inflammatory markers like ESR, CRP, and IL-6 are elevated regardless of disease severity. Understanding these responses is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

Internalization of the Membrane Attack Complex Triggers NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and IL-1β Secretion in Human Macrophages

Ines Diaz-del-Olmo et al.

Summary: Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) plays a crucial role in inflammation and is regulated by the inflammasome. Stimulation of LPS-primed human macrophages with sub-lytic levels of the membrane attack complex (MAC) can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and trigger IL-1 beta release. These findings demonstrate the involvement of MAC in inflammasome activation and IL-1 beta release in human macrophages.

Complement Overactivation and Consumption Predicts In-Hospital Mortality in SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Gyorgy Sinkovits et al.

Summary: Uncontrolled complement activation is associated with advanced disease severity of COVID-19, with patients more likely to die when accompanied by overactivation and consumption of C3. These findings support the potential use of complement inhibitory drugs in the treatment of COVID-19.

Can Asymptomatic or Non-Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection Cause Medium-Term Pulmonary Sequelae in Children?

Ilaria Bottino et al.

Summary: Researchers found that children who recovered from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection showed no abnormalities in lung ultrasound, airway resistance test, forced spirometry, or diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide. However, all subjects had IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that children may be less prone to pulmonary complications compared to adults.

Associations of immunological features with COVID-19 severity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Zhicheng Zhang et al.

Summary: Our meta-analysis showed significantly lower levels of immune cells (CD3(+) T, CD4(+) T, CD8(+) T, B and NK cells), higher levels of cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-10) and higher levels of chemokines (MCP-1, IP-10 and eotaxin) in severe cases compared to mild cases of COVID-19. These immunological features could be useful for assessing disease severity and triaging COVID-19 patients effectively.

Summary: The study found that 17.2% of COVID-19 survivors have abnormal spirometry, including restrictive and obstructive defects. Severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients had higher prevalence rates of abnormal spirometry and residual fibrosis on chest radiographs compared to patients with mild symptoms and non-severe pneumonia.

Pulmonary function and functional capacity in COVID-19 survivors with persistent dyspnoea

Arturo Cortes-Telles et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the physiological mechanisms behind persistent dyspnoea in COVID-19 survivors. Patients with persistent dyspnoea showed lower lung function, reduced exercise capacity, increased exertional desaturation, and higher symptom ratings compared to those without persistent dyspnoea, indicating a true physiological mechanism explaining persistent dyspnoea post COVID-19.

Summary: Compared to adults, children with mild SARS-CoV-2 infection display less severe symptoms despite similar initial viral load and show a faster resolution of antiviral response, with more transient activation of monocytes and dendritic cells and earlier appearance of genes associated with B cell activation.
