Discussion

Observational analysis reveals cytokine levels associate with immune cell status in sickle cell disease, suggesting impacts on disease severity.

Significantly elevated cytokine levels were found in sickle cell disease patients compared to controls.
Serum IFNγ and IL10 were notably higher in severe cases (DSscore >5), indicating potential severity markers.
Associations were found between cytokines and exhausted immune cells, suggesting a link between immune response and disease pathology.
Cytokine profiling may help understand clinical outcomes in sickle cell disease, highlighting potential targets for intervention.

Patel et al. (2025) studied this question.
