Most patients with corona infection are recovering from treatment at home, but in many patients their own body's immunity is showing the opposite effect. Especially in young and completely healthy patients, apart from Covid, it is seen that they are going into a critical condition due to cytokin storm (cytokine storm). This is the condition in which the patient's own immune system begins to harm his body. So let's understand what cytokin storm is and how it can be avoided.
Cytokin storm is a condition in which the immune system starts working against the body instead of destroying antigens and sometimes it is so fast that healthy cells begin to be attacked, which can even lead to the death of the infected.
In fact cytokin is a resistive protein that becomes active in the state of an infection. It is produced from the cells of the entire body and its job is to protect the body from infection. It is very important to improve the immunity of the body. Its limited amount in the blood is quite important to avoid body infections. What happens then that the protein that protects against infection poses a threat to the body? To understand this, that is, Cytokin Storm, we have to understand the whole process once.
The Cytokin Storm Term was first stated in the year 1993. It was then called hypercytokinemia. Since then, this term has been in constant use. Sitokin protein begins to grow uncontrollably and the patient's lung inflammation and fluid formation in his lungs cause breathing problems. This is called secondary bacterial pneumonia, which increases the risk of death of the affected patient.
In addition to corona infection or any other infection in the body, auto-immune diseases also have a fear of cytokin storm. Its early symptoms include high fever, redness with swelling in the body, extreme fatigue and vomiting. That is, overall, it is not that cytokin storm occurs only in corona patients, but it is the body's own defense response, which, when more active, begins to destroy healthy cells in the body.
