Abstract
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates rapidly, triggering a storm characterized by increased levels of cytokines such as IL-6. Such an inflammatory response causes inflammation of the respiratory system and other bodily systems, with subsequent occurrence of ARDS or respiratory failure. The estimation of IL-6 levels could be an important tool to assess disease severity in COVID-19 patients.
