As an expected result of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it was reported cytokine storm syndrome triggered by the dysregulated immunity in numerous patients. There are clinical studies including baricitinib, tofacitinib, and ruxolitinib JAK inhibitors against cytokine storm caused by COVID-19. It is reported that tocilizumab which is an approved IL6 receptor antagonist, treatment reduced cytokine release syndrome symptoms in severe patients COVID-19 [66] . It is reported that the usage of ruxolitinib suppresses cytokine levels and JAK/STAT pathway in Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) -associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis [71] . In this context, it is clear that ruxolitinib, which is used especially in older age patients, has an important potential in overcoming complications that are caused by over activation of the immune system which is triggered through JAK/STAT signaling pathway. ./cache/cord-317820-od9l7p1r.txt ./txt/cord-317820-od9l7p1r.txt
