Severe respiratory infections are characterized by elevated inflammation and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which may lead to a decrease in antioxidants such as vitamin C and a higher requirement for the vitamin.

Authors: Caplan M, Goutay J, Bignon A, Jaillette E, Favory R PMID: 33093279 DOI: 10.1097/CCM.0000000000004711 Abstract Objectives: Treating acute respiratory failure in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 is challenging due to the lack of knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology. Hypoxemia may be explained in part by the loss of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. The present study [...]

Authors: De Maio A, Hightower LE PMID: 32424591 PMCID: PMC7232923 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-020-01121-0 Abstract The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become an unprecedented challenge for the healthcare system worldwide, with an overwhelming number of patients requiring clinical attention and an unacceptably high mortality rate within critical care facilities. COVID-19 is caused by a novel [...]
