The correlation analysis between the plasma levels of MBL and the cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α showed a trend toward a negative correlation between the levels of MBL and IL-6 ( r = -0.3553; p = 0.0540) and a trend toward a positive correlation between IL-6 and TNF-α levels ( r = 0.3419; p = 0.0644) in the group with severe COVID-19 ( Figure 3 ).
