Today I want to explain a little bit about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) cytokine storm.
What is a cytokine storm?
A cytokine storm is a situation that can occur in critical cases of the coronavirus.
A few things that are associated with a cytokine storm are:
• High fever
• Enlarged spleen
• A decrease or increase of the white blood cell count
• Low blood pressure
• Massive inflammation
Another name for cytokine storm is macrophage activation syndrome. A macrophage is a white blood cell.
A cytokine storm will typically occur when someone’s immune system is weak, they have a genetic weakness towards this condition, or they are overweight.
What is a cytokine?
A cytokine is a communication messenger. It signals the cells to do certain things. When the virus invades the cell, the cell will then send out these messages to let the immune system know there is a problem.
This is why a huge inflammatory reaction can occur. If it happens in the lungs, there can be destruction in the lungs. The cytokines basically tell your “soldiers” to fight.
