    The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the new virus SARS-CoV-2 has been announced as a public health emergency of international concern.1,2,3 The clinical features of patients with COVID-19 range from common fever and cough to other rare symptoms, such as diarrhea and nausea. This disease can progress quickly, and 2–3% of patients die within a short time, which is generally due to multiple organ failure.4,5,6,7 Clinically, COVID-19 patients are classified into mild, moderate, severe, and critical cases.5,6,7 The immune response against SARS-CoV-2 is probably linked to the severity of disease. Recently, Zheng et al.8 showed that elevated levels of T-cell exhaustion and reduced functional diversity of T cells in peripheral blood may predict severe progression in COVID-19 patients; however, a more comprehensive understanding of the pathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection remains to be delineated.

    • Immune dysfunction following COVID-19, especially in severe patients Cong-Ying Song, Jia Xu, Jian-Qin He & Yuan-Qiang Lu Scientific Reports volume 10, Article number: 15838 (2020) Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been spreading worldwide. Severe cases quickly progressed with unfavorable outcomes. We aim to investigate the clinical features of COVID-19 and identify the risk factors associated with its progression. Data of confirmed SARS-CoV-2-infected patients and healthy participants were collected. Thirty-seven healthy people and 79 confirmed patients, which include 48 severe patients and 31 mild patients, were recruited. COVID-19 patients presented with dysregulated immune response (decreased T, B, and NK cells and increased inflammatory cytokines). Also, they were found to have increased levels of white blood cell, neutrophil count, and D-dimer in severe cases. Moreover, lymphocyte, CD4+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, NK cell, and B cell counts were lower in the severe group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CD4+ cell count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and D-dimer were risk factors for severe cases. Both CT score and clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) were associated with disease severity.

    • Immune cell profiling of COVID-19 patients in the recovery stage by single-cell sequencing Wen Wen, Wenru Su, Hao Tang, Wenqing Le, Xiaopeng Zhang, Yingfeng Zheng, Xiuxing Liu, Lihui Xie, Jianmin Li, Jinguo Ye, Liwei Dong, Xiuliang Cui, Yushan Miao, Depeng Wang, Jiantao Dong, Chuanle Xiao, Wei Chen & Hongyang Wang Cell Discovery volume 6, Article number: 31 (2020) Abstract COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has recently affected over 1,200,000 people and killed more than 60,000. The key immune cell subsets change and their states during the course of COVID-19 remain unclear. We sought to comprehensively characterize the transcriptional changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the recovery stage of COVID-19 by single-cell RNA sequencing technique. It was found that T cells decreased remarkably, whereas monocytes increased in patients in the early recovery stage (ERS) of COVID-19. There was an increased ratio of classical CD14++ monocytes with high inflammatory gene expression as well as a greater abundance of CD14++IL1β+ monocytes in the ERS. CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells decreased significantly and expressed high levels of inflammatory genes in the ERS.
