Abstract

Cytokines are pivotal in orchestrating the immune response to viral infections, influencing disease severity and therapeutic outcomes. This article examines the role of cytokine profiles in various viral infections, focusing on how early and chronic infections alter cytokine production and impact disease progression. We discuss the implications of cytokine profiles for understanding disease severity, guiding treatment strategies, and monitoring therapeutic responses. Insights into cytokine-mediated immune responses offer potential avenues for targeted therapies and personalized medicine, highlighting the importance of cytokine profiling in improving patient management and outcomes
