Peculiarities of inflammatory markers in patients with community-acquired pneumonia associated with coronavirus infection

Abstract

The global spread of COVID-19 and the development of its complications remain important research topics for the scientific community. The mutation of the virus has led to several waves of the pandemic, so some universal aspects, such as the inflammatory process, remain relevant for study. Viral pathogens affect the respiratory tract and stimulate the production of various proinflammatory factors, including histamine, interleukin-6 (IL), etc. that are involved in the implementation of inflammatory reactions of the lung tissue and systemic inflammatory reactions (Zhou F., 2020; Lipsitch M., 2020).
