Considering the inflammatory responses, Lagunas-Rangel et al. (48) suggested that patients with severe COVID-19 show a cytokine storm with acute increased levels of IL-2, IL-7, G-CSF, CXCL10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, TNF-α, and IL-6, similar to patients diagnosed with SARS and MERS. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and COVID-19.
