By producing excessive ROS, deregulated neutrophils can spread a local inflammatory response so that it becomes systemic, which explains why they have been involved The high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio observed in critically ill patients with COVID-19 is associated with excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which promote a cascade of biological events that drive pathological host responses. ROS induce tissue damage, thrombosis and red blood cell dysfunction, which contribute to COVID-19 disease severity. ROS induce tissue damage, thrombosis and red blood cell dysfunction, which contribute to COVID-19 disease severity. In conclusion, the presence of oxidative stress markers (for example, lipid peroxidation, rTEM and a high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio) in patients with COVID-19 may help to identify high-risk individuals early in the course of the disease and prevent their sudden deterioration. ./cache/cord-273093-u79r80ip.txt ./txt/cord-273093-u79r80ip.txt
