Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is
associated with high risk for acquiring SARSCov-2 infection, severe disease,
acute respiratory distress syndrome and increased mortality. A recent
publication reported five predictive COVID-19 severity markers that included
CCL17 which was expressed in low levels in severe/critical patients at an early
phase of infection; IFNλ, IL6, IP10, and CXCL9 values surged and then dropped
suddenly before the development of severe disease requiring oxygen support.
This suggested that CCL17 may be a useful first triage marker and the other
reported proteins may help to predict severe disease onset.
