Abstract
- The article discusses a study which determined whether COVID-19 promotes acute respiratory distress syndrome by inhibiting surfactant. Topics covered include the importance of pulmonary surfactant, association of anti-surfactant protein (SP) B/C Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies with COVID-19 severity and the reason why COVID-19 pneumonia induces formation of anti-SP-B/C IgA antibodies. It also cites the limitations of the study.
