Managing Immune Response is Key to Mitigating Damage of COVID-19 Infection
A newly published study in the journal Nature shows a strong and independent correlation between elevated inflammatory markers and survival of the COVID-19 infection: "We found that high serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels at the time of hospitalization were strong and independent predictors of patient survival (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0205 and P = 0.0140, respectively)." The researchers suggest: "To mitigate inflammation caused by SARS-CoV-2, immunomodulatory agents, including small
