Circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and their intracellular expression of IL-17A and IL-22 were assessed by flow cytometry.<h4>Results</h4>Initial results showed an overexpression of IL-17F, IL-17A, CCL5/RANTES, GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-10, CXCL-10/IP-10 and IL-6 in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy controls. Here, CCL5 is linked to COVID-19.
