Article Synopsis
- C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokine levels can change in COVID-19 patients due to the virus's inflammatory response, prompting an analysis of their relationship.

- The findings suggest that understanding these inflammatory markers may help in developing treatments and prevention strategies, leading to recommendations for further research on CRP and cytokines in relation to COVID-19 progression and severity.
