In recent years, the novel coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to over 670 million infections and nearly 7 deaths worldwide. The global pandemic of COVID-19 precipitated a significant public health crisis. prevalence liver function abnormalities associated with SARS-CoV-2 is as high 53% among healthy individuals or patients autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) shows positive correlation severity; moreover, specific adaptive immune responses can influence trajectory outcomes COVID-19. For instance, may impact autoimmunity through mechanisms such excessive stimulation molecular mimicry, particularly in genetically predisposed individuals. Currently, overall mutational trend indicates heightened infectivity evasion capabilities. Consequently, vaccination remains crucial for universal protection against this disease. Nevertheless, alongside widespread implementation programs globally, an increasing number cases have been documented where appears trigger new-onset hepatitis; yet definitive evidence still pending elucidation regarding causality. review, we analyse clinical-immunological characteristics, risks progression, prognosis AIH infected SARS-CoV-2; discuss detrimental effects exerted on hepatic function; summarise attributes leading AIH; well provide insights into how interfere processes. We continue underscore significance while aiming enhance awareness concerning potential it-this could facilitate better management strategies diseases along appropriate adjustments protocols. Although precise triggering mechanism linking COVID-19-related events unclear, existing suggests that relationship far from coincidental.

Abstract Cytokines and chemokines are essential for establishing an appropriate immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Variations in the genes encoding cytokines strongly influence pathogenic challenges disease outcomes. This study was carried out determine associations of polymorphisms TNF -α , IL-6 IL-8, IL-10 CCL5 with COVID-19 severity. A total 627 unvaccinated patients were classified according WHO We evaluated levels IFN-α, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1R, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, CCL2, CCL3, CXCL8, CXCL10 GCSF serum compared among severity groups stratified by polymorphism alleles. revealed a significant increase IL-2, CCL-2 dead group. However, higher moderate group than mild Logistic regression analysis that five associated increased risk COVID-19: (rs1800610) allele (OR=1.50; 95% CI: 1.01–2.24); (rs1800796) C (OR=1.64; 1.05–2.57); (rs1800871) T (OR=1.94; 1.24–3.04) (rs1800872) (OR=1.87; 1.21–2.89); (rs3817656) G (OR= 1.64; 1.02–2.65)).

Background: The relationship between viral infections and host factors holds high hopes for identifying the role of Interferon Lambda 3 (IFNL3) Interleukin 6 (IL-6) polymorphisms in development Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) patients infected with hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) Western Brazilian Amazon. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted a cohort 40 chronic HDV patients, 27 CLD 13 without evident liver damage. Biological samples from participants were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, followed by sequencing automated Sanger method. Results: rs8099917 T allele, IFNL3 gene, showed higher frequency both groups; however, it was not possible to establish an association infection [OR = 1.42 (0.42 - 4.75; p 0.556 (95% CI). For IL-6, rs1800795 G allele superior C. Analyzing distributions studied groups, any absent (p > 0.05). Conclusion: results suggest that T/G G/C are associated evolution population.
