Various immunosuppressive drugs, including IL-6 blockers or JAK-STAT signaling inhibitors have been 56 suggested for the treatment of SARS-COV-2 infection 2 whereas additional clinical trials are evaluating 57 the use of recombinant interferon to foster host antiviral response. To date, IFN-I response has not been evaluated in COVID-19 60 patients and its contribution to the viral control and inflammation is unknown. We further explored a larger cohort of 26 critically ill COVID patients from one of the intensive care 75 unit (ICU) at Hospices Civils de Lyon (Lyon, France). ./cache/cord-252950-eiphxwmn.txt ./txt/cord-252950-eiphxwmn.txt
