Most markers of inflammation, the immune response, and liver damage presented in patients with a fatal course of COVID-19 so far seem mostly on par with those seen in patients with a moderate form of the disease, suggesting a weaker response to the infection compared to severely ill patients, which resulted in the patients' deaths. In contrast, patients with fatal COVID-19 ( Figure 5B ) displayed a negative correlation between leukocytes and lymphocytes, and their inflammatory markers increased with markers of organ failure (liver enzymes, amylase, GGT, urea, and creatinine) and cytotoxic cellular immunity (activated CD38+ HLA-DR+ CD8 T cells) instead. ./cache/cord-336810-77wq9laa.txt ./txt/cord-336810-77wq9laa.txt
