Sentence |
denotes |
Bronchial alveolar lavage fluid analysis of 3 COVID-19 patients reveals a high number of NKT cells during the acute phase of infection (Kim et al., 2020). |
| T626 |
155-230 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This increase in NKT cells was similarly reflected in the peripheral blood. |
| T627 |
231-318 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Conversely, a decline in the number of these cells was found during the recovery phase. |
| T628 |
319-516 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results thus suggest a close correlation of the NKT cell activity in COVID-19 and the presence of these cells may be required for the clearance of virus during the initial phase of infection. |
| T629 |
517-679 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Concomitantly, increased infiltration and activity of these cells may lead to a more severe outcome associated with eosinophilic pneumonia, as shown in one study. |
| T630 |
680-808 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, no direct correlation of these cells types with disease severity was found, probably due to meagre sample size (n = 3). |
| T631 |
809-979 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Further, the samples used in this study were collected at different time points after the onset of symptoms, which may have complicated the interpretation of the results. |
