In addition to mentioned viral infectious diseases, melatonin has been shown to play therapeutic roles in infection induced by Ebola virus. The Ebola virus increases blood coagulation, weakens the immune system, and mediates noticeable inflammatory responses leading to the oxidative stress-induced organ and cellular damages. (2020) Beside oxidative cell injury induced by SARS-CoV-2, serum inflammatory markers such as D-dimers, C-reactive protein, and ferritin, neutrophil count in a complete blood count (CBC), and inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines increase in severe COVID-19 patients (Merad and Martin, 2020a; Ruan et al., 2020) . Clinical study of mesenchymal stem cell treating acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by epidemic Influenza A (H7N9) infection, a hint for COVID-19 treatment Inhibitory effect of melatonin on lung oxidative stress induced by respiratory syncytial virus infection in mice	./cache/cord-351766-ik89889i.txt	./txt/cord-351766-ik89889i.txt
