Using a 27-plex cytokine bead array, we found that Interleukin (IL)-1ra, IL-6, IL-8, IL-13, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon inducible protein (IP)-10, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) were elevated in both, COVID-19 negative and COVID-19 positive sepsis patients, as compared to healthy controls. The gene discussed is CXCL10; the disease is COVID-19.
