Abstract

Background The soluble form of NKG2D (sNKG2D) ligands has been implicated in the severity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). However, their longitudinal dynamics from the acute phase to hospital discharge and their relationships with clinical parameters are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal dynamics of these ligands and determine their relationship with clinical parameters.
