Boxplot graph depicting plasma concentration of cytokines. Plasma cytokines were measured in COVID-19 ARDS (n = 14), non-COVID-19 ARDS (n = 7), and control patients (n = 7). COVID-19 ARDS patients had significantly higher plasma concentrations of CCL5 and non-significantly higher plasma concentrations of CXCL2 (p = 0.09), CXCL10 (p = 0.29), CD40 ligand (p = 0.14), IL-10 (p = 0.23), and GM-CSF (p = 0.33) compared with non-COVID-19 ARDS patients. We observed lower concentrations of plasma IL-2 (p = 0.04), TRAIL (p = 0.055), and G-CSF (p = 0.06). The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 ARDS patients (Pneumochondrie study, 2019–2020)
