Association of SARS-CoV-2 infection with long-lasting increase in circulating IL-32 levels

Key Points

IL-32 levels increased significantly after SARS-CoV-2 infection, indicating potential ongoing inflammation.
Circulating IL-32 levels remained elevated up to one year post-discharge, suggesting long-term effects.
Correlation with markers of inflammation supports IL-32 as a potential biomarker for COVID-19 sequelae.
Analysis highlights the importance of monitoring IL-32 levels in long-term recovery from COVID-19.

Abstract

IL-32 levels increased following COVID-19, especially during the initial severe wave, and correlated with some markers of inflammation. IL-32 remained elevated up to one-year post-discharge, suggesting ongoing inflammation and supporting its potential as a biomarker for long-term sequelae.
