In stage III of COVID-19 patients, moderate positive correlation was noticed between Gal-1 and IL-1β (p = 0.001) and IL6 (p = 0.005) and strong positive correlation between Gal-1 and IL-10 (p = 0.001), IL-23 (p = 0.001) and IL-33 (p = 0.001) (Table 3). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is COVID-19.
