SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Accelerates Systemic Sclerosis by Increasing Inflammatory Cytokines, Th17 Cells, and Fibrosis

2023-08-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) induces a dysfunctional immune response, inflammation, autoantibody production, and coagulopathy, which are symptoms that bear resemblance to those of autoimmune diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods While there is a single case report suggesting an association between COVID-19 and SSc, the effects of COVID-19 on SSc are not yet fully under...
