Evaluation of the Activity of Metalloendopeptidase enzyme, Interleukin-6 level and Some Physiological Variables in the sera of patients infected with SARS COVID-2

The current study included a collection of 60 serum samples, 40 samples for patients infected with Coronavirus collected from Health centers and outpatient medical clinics in Kirkuk, and 20 samples for healthy people. This paper involves the evaluation of D-dimer, C-reactive protein, Metalloendopeptidase, Interleukin-6 Concentration, white blood cells, and lymphocytes.

The present study’s results demonstrated a considerable increase in the levels of plasma D- dimer, C-reactive protein, and IL-6 in the group serum infected with COVID-19 compared to healthy individuals. They also identified a considerable increase in the activity of the enzyme metalloendopeptidase in the blood serum of COVID-19- infected people compared to healthy people. The data also demonstrated WBCs in the blood of infected individuals significantly increased. Also, the result was found that C-reactive protein, di-dimer. And IL-6 is highly sensitive to detecting infection with the COVID-19 virus.
