Altered Surfactant Protein Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood Is Associated with COVID-19 Disease Severity
2025-05-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> /Objectives: Severe COVID-19 pneumonia causes alveolar type II cell damage and surfactant dysfunction, contributing to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Surfactant proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, SP-D) are critical for reducing alveolar surface tension and defending against infection. We aimed to evaluate how surfactant protein gene expression affects COVID-19 severity Methods: Peripher...
