Article Synopsis
- Neutrophils in severe COVID-19 show increased activation markers and produce inflammatory signals like CXCL8 and CCL2.
- Their activity correlates with markers of tissue damage, such as lactate dehydrogenase and D-dimer levels in the blood.
- Immune complexes, particularly involving specific antibodies, may enhance neutrophil inflammation, potentially worsening COVID-19 severity.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze in a prospective cohort of hospitalized COVID-19 patients the relationship between biomarkers levels and their variation within the first 4 days since admission, and prognosis.
Methods: Prospective cohort study. Individuals with confirmed diagnosis of covid-19 admitted in our hospital were included.
Background: Severe pneumonia is the most common cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and death due to novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) respiratory disease (COVID-19). Due to its rapid outbreak, units for the evaluation of febrile patients in the pre-hospital setting were created.
Objective: The objective of the study was to develop a sensitive and simple tool to assess the risk of pneumonia in COVID-19 patients and thus select which patients would require a chest imaging study.
Progression of HIV infection is variable among individuals, and definition disease progression biomarkers is still needed. Here, we aimed to categorize the predictive potential of several variables using feature selection methods and decision trees. A total of seventy-five treatment-naïve subjects were enrolled during acute/early HIV infection.
