CRP and AIDS: The mean levels of CRP (2.0 mg/L) and IL-6 (7.0 pg/ml) in all HIV patients were markedly lower than the mean limits of the reported patients with either severe (CRP = 57.9 mg/L, IL-6 = 25.2 pg/ml) or moderate (CRP = 33.2 mg/L, IL-6 = 13.3 pg/ml) COVID-19 (Qin et al., 2020); the levels of CRP (1.2 vs. 3.1 mg/L, p = 0.230) and IL-6 (7.7 vs. 6.5 pg/ml, p = 0.971) among non-AIDS patients and those with AIDS were comparable (Figures 2E, F).
