However, the physiological impact of non-neutralizing autoantibodies remains unclear. In our cohort of COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care, the presence of non-neutralizing anti-type I IFN autoantibodies increased the risk of thrombotic complications, likely via a cytokine carrier mechanism, prolonging the half-life of cytokines and dysregulating vascular endothelial function. Previous studies have associated non-neutralizing anti-type I IFN autoantibodies with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications in autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, but their relevance in infectious diseases remains uncertain. Stratifying anti-type I IFN autoantibodies based on their neutralizing capacity may have clinical significance not only in terms of susceptibility to infectious diseases but also in predicting cardiovascular and thrombotic events.4 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Framil et al., 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/COVID-19AutoanticossosTrombosiCOVID-19AutoantibodiesThrombosisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2025-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess40165950
