简要总结
This study is a prospective, observational multicentric study. The study population entails adult patients hospitalized with a high clinical suspicion of COVID-19 and consists of two study arms (SARS-CoV2- vs. SARS-CoV2+).This combined fundamental research project has a dual goal: on the one hand assessing immunological predisposing factors for severe infection and investigating the immunological impact of SARS-CoV2 infection, on the other hand studying viral characteristics. Furthermore, a substudy will examine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxychloroquine in patients receiving this antiviral treatment (REVIVE susbstudy). To answer these research questions, samples will be collected from patients with a high clinical suspicion of COVID-19, hospitalized at UZ Gent and 2 participating hospitals in Ghent (AZ Maria Middelares en AZ Jan Palfijn).

结局指标
主要结局
Identification of cytokines and chemokines associated with COVID-19 severity and outcome.
时间窗: 6 months
Cytokine and chemokine analysis (U-plex Mesoscale Diagnostics) on the plasma and BAL fluid will be correlated to disease severity and outcome
Identification of cellular subsets that can predict COVID-19 severity and outcome.
时间窗: 6 months
By using high-dimensional flow cytometry on cryopreserved PBMCs, the investigators will assess whether the phenotype and intracellular signaling can predict COVID-19 severity and disease outcome.
SARS CoV-2 sequencing.
时间窗: 6 months
Whole genome sequencing and viral metagenomics analysis will be performed on selected nasopharyngeal swabs and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
