Poor systemic immune responses and elevated MAIT cell activation linked to fatal COVID-19 infections

The mortality rate of COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation is 30-40%, however, the immunological factors associated with death in critically ill COVID-19 patients are poorly understood.
