The vigorous study of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection reveals high plasma levels of a plethora of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, such as MCP, IL1‐β, TNF‐α, VEGF‐A and IFNγ, suggesting the pathogenic role of cytokine storms mediated by overproduction of pro‐inflammatory cytokines related to damage and disease severity in COVID‐19 patients.10 Here, IL1B is linked to COVID-19.
