COVID-19-like hyperinflammation is associated with susceptibility to A. baumannii infections. a C57Bl6 mice were injected i.v. with plasma of HVs or patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 for 3 consecutive days. On day 4, mice were challenged i.p. with E. coli or A. baumannii. Survival comparison by the log-rank test and the respective p value is provided. b, c C57Bl6 mice were injected i.v. with plasma of patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 for 3 consecutive days. On each day of plasma challenge, half of the mice were treated with anakinra. On day 4, mice were challenged i.p. with E. coli (b) or A. baumannii (c). Survival comparison by the log-rank test and the respective p value is provided.
