Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection affects multiple immune mechanisms and leads to severe COVID-19 and death, in part related to infection-induced or pre-existing autoantibodies. Here, we describe severe COVID-19 to associate with autoantibodies against interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and progranulin (PGRN), endogenous antagonists of IL-1 and TNF signaling, respectively.

Key takeaways: Azelastine lowered the risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. placebo. The spray may have potential as an adjunct to reduce COVID-19 risk but vaccination “remains the cornerstone” of prevention, a researcher said. Azelastine nasal spray was associated with a reduced risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection, according to the results of a phase 2 randomized controlled trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine.

COPD (chronisch-obstruktive Lungenerkrankung) ist eng mit kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen assoziiert. Koexistieren COPD und Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, steigen Hospitalisierungsrate, Symptomlast, die Gefahr schwerer kardiovaskulärer Ereignisse sowie die Gesamtmortalität an. Das Risiko kardiovaskulärer Ereignisse steigt während und kurze Zeit nach einer Exazerbation an. Schwere Exazerbationen stellen das höchste Risiko bezüglich kardiovaskulärer Ereignisse dar.
