The Role of Natural Killer, Complement and T-lymphocytes in COVID-19 Disease, a Prospective Monocentric Study (TONIC)

February 25, 2022 updated by: Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel

The current study is an open, non-randomized, monocentric, and interventional study. CoViD-19 patients will be recruited at UZ Brussel after informed consent is obtained. Whole blood and serum samples will be collected during acute disease (inclusion and 7 days after inclusion) and during patient follow-up at 2 months after infection.

Sample storage and subsequent use in fundamental research will be performed at VUB Neuro-Aging and Viro-Immunotherapy.

Additionally, medical records of UZ Brussel will be searched and epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and biological data of the selected patients will be obtained at the diagnosis time point and during follow-up.

Healthy volunteers will be recruited as well in the current study, as a comparison arm, after informed consent is obtained.
