„Burza cytokinowa”


Definition from Infekcje SARS-CoV-2 a zjawisko burzy cyt:
W -przebiegu ‚burzy cytokinowej” następuje gwałtowne wydzielanie cytokin – białek pobudzających inne komórki układu immunologicznego do określonych reakcji. Zadaniem cytokin jest m.in. koordynowanie odpowiedzi organizmu na infekcję i wywoływanie stanu zapalnego. Na przykład gdy SARS-CoV-2 dostanie się do płuc, wyzwalana jest miejscowa odpowiedź immunologiczna i produkcja cytokin, która skutkuje przyciąganiem wyspecjalizowanych komórek w celu zintensyfikowanego ataku na wirusa w dolnych drogach oddechowych.
