SARS-CoV-2 infection is benign in most individuals but, in around 10% of cases, it triggers
hypoxaemic COVID-19 pneumonia, which leads to critical illness in around 3% of cases …

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease characterized by a profound
dysregulation of the innate immune system. This knowledge has emerged from the large …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection fatality rate (IFR)
doubles with every 5 y of age from childhood onward. Circulating autoantibodies …

Recessive or dominant inborn errors of type I interferon (IFN) immunity can underlie critical
COVID-19 pneumonia in unvaccinated adults. The risk of COVID-19 pneumonia in …

The immense interindividual clinical variability during any infection is a long-standing
enigma. Inborn errors of IFN-γ and IFN-α/β immunity underlying rare infections with weakly …

The vast interindividual clinical variability observed in any microbial infection—ranging from
silent infection to lethal disease—is increasingly being explained by human genetic and …

Mosquito-borne West Nile virus (WNV) infection is benign in most individuals but can cause
encephalitis in< 1% of infected individuals. We show that∼ 35% of patients hospitalized for …

Viruses evade the innate immune response by suppressing the production or activity of
cytokines such as type I interferons (IFNs). Here we report the discovery of a mechanism by …

Circulating autoantibodies (auto-Abs) neutralizing high concentrations (10 ng/ml; in plasma
diluted 1: 10) of IFN-α and/or IFN-ω are found in about 10% of patients with critical COVID …

Background It is important to predict which patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 are at higher
risk of life-threatening COVID-19. Several studies suggest that neutralizing auto-antibodies …
