Research to predict who could become seriously ill from Covid-19 Updated: 10/03/2021, 6:28 am Scientist Glynn Choules looks at patient Covid data (Ben Birchall/PA) Scientists are carrying out research to try to predict who could become seriously ill from coronavirus by analysing the immune response of patients. The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) at Porton Down, near Salisbury, is working with Hywel Dda University Health Board and Swansea University in Wales on a pilot study examining randomised blood samples from 30 hospital patients to compare how their immune systems react to the illness. Evidence suggests some patients become severely ill from Covid-19 after having a massive inflammatory response from their immune system, part of which is often known as a “cytokine storm” which can lead to organ failure and death. But others do not.
