“…BACKGROUND: Background:: Immune modulation in patients with clinical features suggestive of a cytokine release syndrome (CRS) has become a pharmacologic target for potential treatment of COVID-19 and prevention of ARDS. Tocilizumab is an IL-6 receptor blocker FDA-approved for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell-induced severe or life-threatening CRS. …”

“…The “cytokine storm” observed in patients with severe COVID-19 contributes to the destruction of the endothelium, leading to “acute respiratory distress syndrome” (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. At the origin of the general proinflammatory state may be the SARS-CoV-2-mediated redox status in endothelial cells via the upregulation of ACE/Ang II/AT1 receptors pathway or the increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production. …”

The presence of viral cytopathic-like changes, infiltration of inflammatory cells (mononuclear cells and macrophages), and viral particles in histopathological samples are considered a consequence of both direct viral infection and immune hyperactivation. …”
