Observational Study
Iron metabolism and lymphocyte characterisation during Covid-19 infection in ICU patients: an observational cohort study.
Iron metabolism and immune response to SARS-CoV-2 have not been described yet in intensive care patients, although they are likely involved in Covid-19 pathogenesis. ⋯ The description of iron metabolism and lymphocyte count in Covid-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit provided with this paper might allow a wider understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology.
