Coronavirus infection triggers an imbalance between increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced antioxidant host responses that leads to increased redox stress in the host cell. Increased redox stress induces inflammation, apoptosis and ultimately tissue damage and end organ disease.
