Selenium and RNA Virus Interactions: Potential Implications for SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19)

2020-05-12

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic that already claimed more than 340,000 lives worldwide as of May 23, 2020, the majority of which are elderly. Selenium (Se), a natural trace element, has a key and complex role in the immune system. It is well-documented that Se deficiency is associated with higher susceptibility to RNA viral infections and more severe disease outcome. In this articl...
