Abstract
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a diverse course; It seems to be asymptomatic or may produce mild symptoms which occurs in majority of the cases, however cytokine storm, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) could also happen as complications in some patients. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the serum level of IL-33, CCL17 and IP-10 in moderate and severe cases of COVID-19 and its diagnostic value. Methodology: IL-33, CCL17 and IP-10 were measured in the serum specimens of 40 cases of COVID-19, including 20 severe and 20 moderate patients, and compared with 20 healthy controls. Results: The values of IL-33, CCL17 and IP-10 were significantly higher in COVID-19 cases over than healthy controls. IL-33, CCL17 and IP-10 were excellent predictors for COVID-19, and the three cytokines together exhibited the greatest area under the curve (0.957). Conclusions: In this study, we report biomarkers that are highly associated with COVID-19 and can be used as diagnostic biomarkers. These findings aid to our understanding of the immunopathology of SARS CoV2 infection and provide potential targets and strategies for therapy.
