All clinical inflammation data confirmed a highly activated immune response in the tested COVID-19 patients: WBCs (white blood cells) were increased by nearly 100%, LYMs (lymphocytes) increased by ~30%, CRP (C-reactive protein) rose by over 2200%, and the ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) increased by ~320% compared to established maximum control levels. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and COVID-19.
