What is COVID-19 and Complement System Dysregulation about?
This study analyzes complement system (CS) component dysregulation in COVID-19 patients compared to a control group. It found that COVID-19 patients exhibited higher levels of CS components C5a and C4, as well as elevated von Willebrand factor antigen, suggesting a link between CS activation and vascular damage. However, no significant differences in calprotectin levels were observed between the two groups, indicating that CS component dysregulation is a distinctive feature of COVID-19 disease.
