Decline of selected SIM levels across all cohorts except chronic HCV with cirrhosis. IL-10, IL-22, TNFα, IFNγ, and IL-6 displayed normalization in SARS-CoV-2 cohort 2. Acute HCV patients exhibited overall increased SIM levels. Non-cirrhotic HCV patients returned to healthy levels after achieving sustained virologic response (SVR). However, chronic cirrhotic HCV patients showed persistent SIM levels with no significant change compared to T1. Measurements are presented as the mean with standard error. The Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s correction was applied for comparisons between healthy donors and the different cohorts at T1 and the last follow-up. Two-tailed p-values were considered significant at < 0.05 (*), < 0.01 (**), < 0.001 (***) and < 0.0001 (****).
