Severe T cell hyporeactivity in ventilated COVID-19 patients correlates with prolonged virus persistence and poor outcomes

Perturbed T cell responses and disturbed cytokine secretion have been shown during SARS-CoV2 infection in patients. Here the authors show reduced polyclonal T cell activity in COVID-19 patients that is caused by plasma factors and linked to poor prognosis and viral persistence.
