Cytokine Storm: The Uncontrolled Fury of the Immune System

Riya Sharma

Cytokine storm, an exaggerated and uncontrolled immune response characterized by the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, represents a significant clinical challenge in various medical conditions, including viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and immunotherapies. This article explores the causes, mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and treatment strategies associated with cytokine storms, highlighting its prominence in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the complexities of cytokine storm is critical for advancing therapeutic interventions and improving patient outcomes in conditions marked by hyper inflammation.
