Abstract:	Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a major public health burden. We hypothesised that circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs), key players in health and disease, could trace the cell changes during COVID-19 infection and recovery. Therefore, we studied the temporal trend of cEV and inflammatory marker levels in plasma samples of COVID-19 patients that were collected within 24 h of patient admission (baseline, n = 80) and after hospital discharge at day-90 post-admission (n = 59). Inflammatory markers were measured by standard biochemical methods. cEVs were quantitatively and phenotypically characterized by high-sensitivity nano flow cytometry. In patients recovered from COVID-19 lower levels of inflammatory markers were detected. cEVs from vascular (endothelial cells) and blood (platelets, distinct immune subsets) cells were significantly reduced at day-90 compared to admission levels, a pattern also observed for cEVs from progenitor, perivascular and epithelial cells. The best discriminatory power for COVID-19 severity was found for inflammatory markers lactate dehydrogenase and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and for granulocyte/macrophage-released CD66b/CD68-cEVs. Albeit inflammatory markers were good indicators of systemic inflammatory response and discriminators of COVID-19 remission, they do not completely reveal cell stress and organ damage states. cEVs reaching baseline pre-infection levels at 90 days post-infection in recovered patients discriminate parental cells affected by disease.
