According to numerous recent publications, the COVID-19 patients have
lymphopenia, higher infection-related biomarkers and several elevated
inflammatory cytokines (i.e. tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?, interleukin IL-2R and
IL-6). The total number of B cells, T cells and NK cells are significantly
decreased. RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 included, hit the innate immune system in
order to cause infection, through TLRs 3, 7 and 8. Imiquimod is an
immune-stimulator that activates TLR 7 and can be used to enhance the innate and
adaptive immunity. Preclinical and clinical trials are proposed.
