Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most

The COVID-19 pandemic (Coronavirus Disease-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) has caused more that 10 million infections worldwide, with a general mortality of 6%. Multiple studies have found that the hyperinflammatory immune response induced by SARS-CoV-2 is

In early December 2019, several pneumonia cases of unknown origin were observed in Wuhan (China). A novel enveloped RNA β coronavirus was isolated and named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV- 2). The new virus rapidly spread across China and worldwide. On March 11th 2020, the

Background and Rationale: T cells play a critical role in antiviral immunity, their level was dramatically reduced in COVID-19 patients. There is a negative correlation between T cell numbers and cytokines serum level in COVID-19 patients. In those patients, there is up-regulation of inflammatory

Research Background and Rationale At the end of December 2019, pneumonia of unknown origin was detected in the hospitals of Wuhan city, China, and reported to the WHO country office for the first time [1-3]. After a few days, the Chinese government has confirmed the human-to-human transmission of

In December, 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia with unknown cause occurred in Wuhan city, in China. On January 7th, the scientists succeeded to isolate a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). WHO nominated it as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in February,

Between 30 and 50% of patients who contract COVID 19 will be asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic. This fact will not give rise to the consult, and will directly affect a notorious sub-registration of the cases. The second, even more disturbing, premise is that these patients are as contagious as the

INTRODUCTION Warts are common skin conditions resulting from infection of keratinocytes by human papillomavirus (HPV). After infection of the basal layer, there is clonal proliferation leading to epidermal thickening and hyperkeratinization and eventually results in a visible wart. HPVs are

COVID-19 has a wide clinical spectrum ranging between asymptomatic infection, mild upper respiratory tract symptoms, and severe viral pneumonia that may result in respiratory failure and finally death. There is currently no clinically proven specific antiviral agent available for SARS-CoV-2

The process by which neutrophils expel DNA together with various proteins to the outside, forming a network structure called Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) constitutes a particular cell death that involves the destruction of the nuclear membrane before the plasmatic one. This process is

To date, there are no drugs or other therapeutics approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent or treat COVID-19 that has spread globally resulting in the ongoing pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. While the majority of patients have

Patients aged 18-80 years who confirmed with COVID-19 and classified as severe were enrolled in the study, and then separated randomly into two groups: a berberine group (B group) and a control group (C group). The diagnostic criteria for severe cases are in accordance with the Diagnosis and

BACKGROUND Since the first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its subsequent clinical manifestation (COronaVIrus Disease 19, COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019, contagion abruptly spread to different regions of China
