Covid‐19 and diabetes mellitus: unveiling the interaction of two pandemics

Open access
Maddaloni, Ernesto, Buzzetti, Raffaella·2020·Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews

Abstract

A novel RNA betacoronavirus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid‐19) has now been declared pandemic disease by WHO. Guo et al published the first report of biochemical features in patients with diabetes and the further risk that this disease can determine to the progression of Covid‐19. Among different cytokines found significantly higher in patients with diabetes compared to those without, Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), which is already increased in conditions of chronic inflammation, may play a more deleterious role in Covid‐19 infection. Targeting the overexpression of Il‐6 effects with a monoclonal antibody against IL‐6 receptor or using Janus Kinase inhibitors may be particularly helpful for treatment of Covid‐19 pneumonia in diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
