Interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression of lung tissue in COVID-19 patient severity through core biopsy post mortem.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In COVID-19 patients, Interleukin-6 (IL-6) will increase, and the production of antigens will be excessive, which will cause excessive inflammation of the tissues, especially the respiratory tract, which causes fibrosis in the lungs and can lead to death.

Objective

To analyze IL-6 expression of lung tissue in COVID-19 patient severity.

Methods

The study is an observational analytic design from July to December 2020. COVID-19 patient severity who died was examined for IL-6 expression on lung tissue. The lung tissue sampling uses the core biopsy method.

Results

The total number of samples obtained was 38 samples. Characteristics of patients with a mean age of patients were 48 years, male, the most common chief complaint was shortness of breath, mean
