As this pandemic continues, several prognostic markers, as well as inflammatory markers (such as D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein), are now being identified to correlate with symptoms and diseases severity.6 Several studies reported that the NLR and PLR can be used as independent prognostic markers of disease severity in COVID-19.17-19 We identified that there was no significant association of NLR and PLR values in terms of mortality of our patients. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is COVID-19.
