Monitoring Macrophage Polarization in Infectious Disease, Lesson From SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The concept of macrophage polarization has been largely used in human diseases to define a typology of activation of myeloid cells reminiscent of lymphocyte functional subsets. In COVID‐19, several studies have investigated myeloid compartment dysregulation and macrophage polarization as an indicator of disease prognosis and monitoring.
