Abstract
Due to the potential role of selenium in enhancing the immune system, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the association between selenium serum levels, mortality rate, and inflammatory and immunity factors in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. A total 179 patients (60.3% male) with COVID-19 were enrolled into this study. The serum level of selenium was significantly correlated with white blood cell count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in patients with COVID-19. No significant association was seen between serum selenium levels and IL-6, IFN-γ, and mortality rate.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
