Sažetak

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a long pentraxin, is not only released from dendritic cells and
neutrophils but also from epithelial and endothelial cells such as alveolar epithelium. Severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) initially activates the innate immune system, causing
a complex immune response. Clinical and experimental studies suggest that PTX3, a locally and
systemically secreted marker, can be used as a predictor of the severity and mortality in respiratory infections.
In the current study, serum PTX3 levels in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were found
to be significantly increased at admission and showed significant association with the disease severity.
