•Any gender and skin color
•Age equal to or greater than 18 years
•SARS-CoV2 infection diagnosed by PCR-RT or rapid test to the COVID 19 positive
•Confirmed Multifocal interstitial pneumonia
•Need for oxygen therapy to maintain saturation of O2>93%
•Worsening of lung involvement, defined as one of the following criteria:
o Worsening oxygen saturation >3 percentage points or decrease in PaO2 >10%, with FiO2 stable in the last 24 hours.
o Need to increase FiO2 in order to maintain a stable SO2 or new need for mechanical installation in the last 24 hrs.
o Increase in the number and/or extent of consolidation lung areas
•Express willfulness of the patient, family member or impartial witness
Alternatively, itolizumab may be used in patients suspecting macrophage activation syndrome, according to the following criteria:

•PO2: Partial arterial oxygen pressure <65 mm Hg
•Worsening of the radiological image
•Fever = 38oC
•Reduction of initial values of hemoglobin, platelets or neutrophils or Hb< 90 g/L, platelets <100 x109/L, neutrophils <1 x109/L or leukocytes < 4 x109/L.
•Decreased erythrocyte sedimentation in mismatch with PCR (low erythrocyte sedimentation and PCR increases or does not change)
•Increased initial value of triglycerides or triglycerides greater than 3 mmol/L.
•Increased initial ferritin value from 500 ng/ml or absolute ferritin value = 2000 ng/ml.
