Abstract

The cause of the COVID-19 pandemic can be attributed to the Acute Respiratory Syndrome Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 manifests with severe symptoms in the upper respiratory tract and can progress to a critical condition due to an acute hyperinflammatory response that triggers a cytokine storm. The cytokine storm refers to an excessive or impaired production of proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in immune dysregulation and uncontrolled inflammatory activity. To effectively address the hyperinflammatory state induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is imperative to explore promising strategies aimed at overcoming the cytokine storm, such as the prompt initiation of anti-inflammatory therapy. Several classes of drugs can potentially prevent the deterioration of COVID-19 patients by mitigating immune system dysregulation and suppressing uncontrolled inflammatory responses. These drug classes encompass corticosteroids, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, inhibitors of interleukin-1 (IL-1), inhibitors of interleukin-6 (IL-6), inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and anti-inflammatory drugs. Additionally, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors, as well as inhibitors targeting the Janus kinase signaling pathway and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT), have exhibited efficacy in treating COVID-19. This efficacy is evident when considering the drug's mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics, while also taking into account the tolerable side effects associated with their usage

Abstract

SARS-Cov-2 adalah virus yang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya penyakit COVID-19 yang parah yang terkait dengan peningkatan produksi sitokin/kemokin proinflamasi. Badai sitokin adalah pelepasan sitokin proinflamasi yang berlebihan atau tidak terkendali yang menyebabkan kekacauan pada sistem kekebalan tubuh dan respon inflamasi yang tidak terkendali. Artikel ini dibuat dengan tujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman terkait badai sitokin, patofisiologi yang menyertainya, manifestasi klinis, pengukuran laboratorium, dan faktor-faktor yang memicu terjadinya badai sitokin. Badai sitokin pada COVID-19 ini menyebabkan terjadinya kegagalan multi-organ bahkan kematian. Faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya badai sitokin pada pasien COVID-19 ini bukan saja disebabkan oleh adanya SARS-CoV-2 tetapi adanya factor pendukung lain seperti usia yang lebih tua, jenis kelamin laki-laki, golongan darah A serta adanya gangguan metabolisme pada pasien seperti peningkatan tekanan darah, obesitas maupun diabetes.
