Comparison of the intracellular levels of caspase-3 between the clinical conditions showed a significant increase in the intracellular caspase-3 in the C19wSepsis cohort compared to the C19NoSepsis (> 22-fold increase, ***p=0.0008) and Sepsis Alone (> 39-fold increase, ****p<0.0001) cohorts. This evidence concerns the gene CASP3 and Sepsis.
