Normalization of selected SIM levels across most cohorts, persistent elevation in chronic HCV with cirrhosis. IL-8 and IP-10/CXCL10 levels normalize to healthy levels in SARS-CoV-2, acute HCV, and non-cirrhotic HCV patients. However, chronic HCV patients with cirrhosis show an initial decrease, followed by persistent elevation, without full recovery. Measurements are shown as the mean with the standard error of the mean. The Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s correction was applied to compare healthy donors and the different cohorts at T1 and the last follow-up. Two-tailed P values < 0.05 (*), < 0.01 (**), < 0.001 (***) and < 0.0001 (****) were considered significant.
