Low blood zinc concentrations in patients with poor clinical outcome during SARS-CoV-2 infection: is there a need to supplement with zinc COVID-19 patients?

Among 275 patients with COVID-19, we found that median blood zinc level was significantly lower in patients with poor clinical outcome (N Z 75) as compared to patients with good clinical outcome (N Z 200) (840 mg/L versus 970 mg/L; p < 0.0001), suggesting that zinc supplementation could be useful for patients with severe COVID-19.
