Abstract:

COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, has caused a global pandemic in a short time. The key immunopathological features of COVID-19 include lymphopenia, neutropenia, cytokine storm and related Immune damage to parenchymal organs such as lung. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) can cause excessive inflammatory reaction, which may aggravate the condition of some patients. Therefore, it is controversial whether COVID-19 should be treated with G-CSF, and clinicians need to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of G-CSF according to the specific conditions of each patient.

Key words: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, G-CSF, benefit, risk
