Despite the control of the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains one of the main
concerns of healthcare systems throughout the world. Inflammation and
hyper-reactive immune system play an essential role in developing
SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
Infliximab, an anti-TNFα antibody that is used in autoimmune disorders,
may exert an important role in alleviating inflammation and
hyper-reactive immunity. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we
have concluded that Infliximab can significantly decrease the mortality
rate in patients with COVID-19. Conversely, it did not have a
significant effect on the rate of hospitalization, mechanical
ventilation, and adverse events during SARS-CoV-2 infection. More
studies on the influence of Infliximab on patients with COVID-19 are
warranted.
