Pentracor GmbH recently held its first webinar with renowned physicians from Germany and Switzerland to discuss the increasingly clear relevance of the pathological function of CRP in the inflammatory, severe phase of COVID-19.
Reduction of CRP during the course of a SARS-CoV-2 infection is primarily helpful in preventing an exuberant and thus devastating immune response of the body. The therapy could therefore help combat the new disease.
The webinar was held in German and is available to the public.
