Blood Inflammatory Markers and Cytokines in COVID‐19 Patients With Bacterial Coinfections
Serum PCT and CRP levels in COVID-19 patients with bacterial coinfection are higher than those without bacterial infection. Cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-2, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p70, IL-17, and TNF-α may be involved in the progression of COVID-19 combined with bacterial infection. They can be used as potential markers to evaluate the disease condition and prognosis.
