 This study found that individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 had higher levels of certain cytokines than those who were uninfected. These cytokines included interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 2, interleukin 6, interleukin 8, interleukin 10, and interleukin 17a. Furthermore, the study also found that individuals who had been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 but did not develop symptoms still had higher levels of these cytokines than those who were unexposed. This suggests that even if someone does not become ill, their body may still be responding to the virus.
