Article Synopsis
- The influenza virus (IFV) is a significant global health concern that affects both health systems and economies, highlighting the need to understand how it causes disease.
- Ferroptosis, a specific type of cell death linked to iron and lipid damage, plays a role in the body's response to IFV and influences inflammation during the infection.
- Investigating how ferroptosis works in the context of IFV could lead to new drug treatments that use ferroptosis inhibitors to combat viral infections effectively.
Background: The present study aimed to compare serum total IgA levels between severe and mild COVID-19 patients' groups and the control group.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 216 definite severe COVID-19 patients (as the inpatient group), 183 subjects with positive specific COVID-19 IgG with mild or no symptoms as the (outpatient group), and 203 healthy subjects with negative specific serology, as the control group were investigated. The cases' laboratory data were collected, and thereafter, statistical tests, including independent samples t test, ANOVA test, and post hoc test, were performed using SPSS software version 22.
