In line with our findings, several reports described the overproduction of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β (Tay et al., 2020), leukopenia and coagulopathy, marked by platelet activation and high D-dimer levels, accounting for the development of the more severe forms of the COVID-19 (Terpos et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and COVID-19.
