    Document: SARS-CoV and the Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV) are highly pathogenic coronaviruses that infect the lower respiratory tract causing severe pneumonia that results in rapid viral replication, massive inflammatory cell infiltration and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine levels including Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Creactive protein (CRP) that lead to severe respiratory failure, which can be described as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (Channappanavar R and Perlman S. 2017). The SARS-CoV-2 virus has also been suggested to initiate a cytokine storm in patients with COVID-19 (Mehta P et al. 2020) . IL-6 blockade has been identified as a potential strategy to mitigate the complications associated with COVID-19 infection.
