Regarding IL-6, which is secreted by T-cells and macrophages and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 complications, a recent study by Talaat et al. [73] showed higher levels in diabetic children compared to controls, a finding that was confirmed in the studies by Bradshaw et al. [54] and Ururahy et al. [74], which showed higher secretions from monocytes and higher IL-6 mRNA levels in peripheral blood leukocytes in T1DM patients compared to controls, respectively. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
