Effect of Tocilizumab vs Standard Care on Clinical Worsening in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 Pneumonia A Randomized Clinical Trial

Carlo Salvarani et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of tocilizumab in hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia patients and found no significant benefit compared to standard care. Further randomized clinical trials with blinded, placebo-controlled methods are needed to confirm these results and explore potential applications of tocilizumab in different stages of the disease.

Intravenous immunoglobulin as an important adjunct in the prevention and therapy of coronavirus 2019 disease

Maria Giovanna Danieli et al.

Summary: The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 presents challenges globally, with a small percentage of patients progressing to severe or fatal involvement of multiple organs. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment has shown benefits in reducing ICU stays, lowering mortality rates, and improving pulmonary function in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Endothelial dysfunction and immunothrombosis as key pathogenic mechanisms in COVID-19

Aldo Bonaventura et al.

Summary: The authors suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a prothrombotic state and dysregulated immunothrombosis, leading to severe manifestations of COVID-19. They also discuss potential antithrombotic and immunomodulating drugs for treating COVID-19 patients, aiming to reduce the acute and long-term consequences of the disease by targeting immunothrombosis.
