How to use cytokine in a sentence?
We've certainly seen people come into our hospital, very young people( in their early 20s)... need to be put on ECMO, which is basically a heart-lung machine, for days or even weeks because they come in with cardiomyopathy, which is a response to a cytokine storm.
And that was really the story of the pandemic in 1918 -- the flu pandemic. We had a U-shaped curve. It was the young and the old dying for different reasons, but the reason the young died was because they had a vigorous immune response -- the so-called cytokine storm, where your body makes immunological proteins that actually cause harm.
There are people who have a measured response to the virus and their immune system can manage it without overreacting, healthy people who are asymptomatic are the ones who had just enough immune response to destroy the virus without creating a cytokine storm or blood clots.
One of the things people are seeing with Covid now is the cytokine storm that is generated by the virus.
