When compared to survivor recovered patients, remarkably higher serum levels of IL-2R, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α at admission were found in COVID-19 deceased patients, with a rapid increase during hospitalization, reinforcing the idea that dynamics of these cytokines and related receptors were highly associated with disease outcome (Cui et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and COVID-19.
