The pandemic disease of (coronavirus disease 2019) COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) can be lethal due to damage to the pulmonary vascular endothelial cells and of other vessels (termed endotheliopathy), alveolar exudative inflammation and interstitial inflammation, alveolar epithelium proliferation, and hyaline membrane formation resulting in respiratory failure due to acute respiratory distress syndrome. COVID-19 is associated with excess production of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), and possibly other cytokines. COVID-19 affects almost all vital organs in the body. SARS-CoV-2 virus targets nasal and bronchial epithelial cells and pneumocytes by the binding of its spike protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. SARS-CoV-2 virus uptake is promoted by the type 2 transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2) of the host cell, which cleaves ACE2 and activates the spike protein to assist the coronavirus’s entry into the host cells [1]. Both ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are expressed by the host target cells. SARS-CoV-2 infects pulmonary capillary endothelial cells, inducing an inflammatory reaction (endotheliitis) that triggers thrombotic events in various blood vessels.COVID-19 induces apoptosis of T lymphocytes to cause severe lymphopenia and impairs lymphopoiesis owing to a reduction in Bcl-6+ germinal center B cells that correlates with aberrant extrafollicular TNF-a accumulation in the spleen and lymph nodes [2]. Thus, high TNF-a levels seen in severe COVID-19 not only cause a “cytokine storm” but also suppresses immune response [3, 4]. In this context, the proposals made by Torrinhas et al [5] and Sukkar and Bassetti [6] suggesting, respectively, the potential beneficial action of parenteral fish oil and induction of ketosis in COVID-19 are rather interesting.
