Macrophage activation syndrome in the cytokine storm in Covid-19 and immune diseases-diagnosis and therapy recommendation. The planned project aims to achieve a better prognosis and improved treatment options for the affected patients by examining the immune system after COVID-19 infection. In addition to an excessive inflammatory reaction and reduced control of virus-infected cells by the immune system, defective adaptive immunity could also be involved in a fatal outcome of a COVID-19 infection. Investigations for the early diagnosis of macrophage activation syndrome as the main cause of severe COVID-19 disease should be carried out and it should be shown
