Symptoms and signs of conjunctivitis as predictors of disease course in COVID-19 syndrome.

Detailed information about patients presenting ocular signs or symptoms is reported in Table 2 . At multivariate analysis, plasma concentrations of Interleukin-6 and red cell distribution width were on average higher in patients with signs or symptoms (IL-6 β: + 32.6, 95%CI: 1.33–64.0, p = 0.042; RDW β: + 2.15, 95%CI: 0.91–3.39, p = 0.001) compared to patients without them after adjusting for confounders; a marginally significant difference was seen in Ct values suggesting lower values (i.e. higher viral load) for patients with signs or symptoms when adjusting for confounders (Ct β: -4.32, 95% CI: − 9.30, 0.66, p = 0.086).
