Title: Selenium supplementation may improve COVID-19 survival in sickle cell disease Cord-id: 20twcpyn Document date: 2021_9_17
ID: 20twcpyn
Snippet: Sickle cell disease is associated with lower selenium levels, and the serum selenium level is inversely associated with haemolysis in SCD. The SCD population is more vulnerable to adverse COVID-19 outcomes. SARS-CoV-2 infection lowers the serum selenium level and this is associated with severity of COVID-19. Selenium supplementation is proposed to improve COVID-19 outcomes in the sickle cell disease population.
