The objective of the present study was to identify biological signatures of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predictive of admission in the intensive care unit (ICU). Over 170 immunological markers were investigated in a ‘discovery’ cohort (n = 98 patients) of the Lausanne University Hospital (LUH-1). Here we report that 13 out of 49 cytokines were significantly associated with ICU admission in the three cohorts (P Infection with SARS CoV2 results in the induction of multiple cytokine and inflammatory pathways. Here the authors demonstrate the association of HGF and CXCL13 production with increased severity and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
