Proinflammatory monocytes play a preponderant role in the development of a cytokine storm causing fatal consequences in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, highlighting the importance of analyzing in more detail monocyte distribution in these patients. In this study, we identified an atypical monocyte subpopulation expressing CD56 molecules that showed a low level of HLA-DR and high level of l-selectin. They released higher amounts of TNF-alpha and IL-6 and expressed genes associated with an excessive inflammatory process. Remarkably, the frequency of CD56(+) monocytes inversely correlated with that of CD16(+) monocytes and a high CD56(+)/CD16(+)monocyte ratio was associated with both disease severity and mortality, as well as with serum concentration of type I IFN, a factor able to induce the appearance of CD56(+) monocytes. In conclusion, severe COVID-19 is characterized by the abundance of hyperinflammatory CD56(+) monocytes, which could represent a novel marker with prognostic significance and, possibly, a therapeutic target for controlling the inflammatory process occurring during COVID-19.
