A COVID-19 demonstrou ser altamente patogênica e letal por conta da sua alta taxa de transmissão, atingindo diferentes países do seu local de origem na China, diante disso o principal mecanismo que defende o hospedeiro contra os patógenos é o sistema imunonólogico, que a partir de diversos meios elimina o vírus. Entretanto, a intensa resposta imunológica caracterizada por uma infecção grave eleva a produção de mediadores inflamatórios que podem agravar o quadro clínico dos pacientes acometidos pelas doenças. Portanto, o presente trabalho quantifica as citocinas IL-1 beta, IFN-gama, IL-5, IL-12 e IL-17 em pacientes acometidos pela doença, a fim de demonstrar como a elevada produção destas citocinas podem atuar no organismo. A determinação plasmática das citocinas foi realizada através de ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) sendo a genotipagem do SARS-Cov-2 por RT-PCR. Um total de 10 pacientes com a COVID-19 (Grupo Experimental – GE, 8 mulheres, idade média de 60 anos) e 10 voluntários saudáveis (Grupo Controle – GC, 7 mulheres, idade média de 55 anos) foram incluídos no estudo. Resultados médios obtidos nos diferentes perfins das citocinas: IL-1 beta (GE=138 pg/mL; GC=50 pg/mL), IFN-γ (GE=104,3 pg/mL; GC=55 pg/mL), IL-5 (GE=135,2 pg/mL; GC=51 pg/mL), IL-12 (GE=132,2 pg/mL; GC=65 pg/mL) e IL-17 (GE=130 pg/mL; GC=75 pg/mL). A partir do estudo, os dados encontrados em pacientes acometidos pela doença foi significativamente maior quando comparado ao grupo controle (p<0,001 para cada comparação). Em suma, pacientes com COVID-19 na fase aguda apresentam intensa resposta inflamatória buscando a neutralização do SARS-CoV-2.
