Concept

COVID-19-Associated Hyperinflammation

Hyperinflammatory syndromes result from elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as interleukin (IL)-6, and are sometimes developed in patients with severe COVID-19. Some examples of hyperinflammatory syndromes are macrophage activation syndrome and cytokine release syndrome. Hyperinflammatory syndromes stem from cytokine storm syndromes and can lead to mortality and morbidity.
