Summary
Article type – correspondence letter
Main takeaways:
-        Severe COVID-19 disease appears to be associated with a cytokine profile resembling secondary HLH, “characterized by increased interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, interferon-γ inducible protein 10, monocyte chemo-attractant protein 1, macrophage inflammatory protein 1-α, and tumour necrosis factor-α”
-         Elevated ferritin and IL-6, which may suggest “hyperinflammation,” were found to be predictors of fatality from a retrospective study of 150 COVID-19 cases in Wuhan
-        Immunosuppressive agents such as glucocorticoids, IVIG, tocilizumab, anakinra, and JAK inhibitors could be considered for treatment in patients with evidence of hyperinflammation
