Title: Detectable serum SARS-CoV-2 viral load (RNAaemia) is closely associated with drastically elevated interleukin 6 (IL-6) level in critically ill COVID-19 patients

    Snippet: Our research indicated that serum SARS-CoV-2 viral load and IL-6 level could serve as an indicator of poor prognosis. Since the mortality of COVID-19 critically ill patients is considerable, the host-directed therapies should be an option. If IL-6 could become a therapeutic target for treatment of critically ill patient? Notably, the IL-6 monoclonal antibody-directed COVID-19 therapy has been used in clinical trial in China (No.ChiCTR2000029765)......

If IL-6 could become a therapeutic target for treatment of critically ill patient? Notably, the IL-6 monoclonal antibody-directed COVID-19 therapy has been used in clinical trial in China (No.ChiCTR2000029765). Our data strongly support this notion and efficacy of IL-6 monoclonal antibody directed therapy remains to be fully evaluated.
