Abstract
En el artículo objeto de este comentario, Reiter y col. realizan una revisión y una propuesta muy estimulante respecto a los mecanismos moleculares a través de los cuales la melatonina cumple un papel importante en los procesos inflamatorios que se desencadenan luego de infecciones virales o bacterianas que afectan el sistema respiratorio, como el que provoca la infección con el virus SARS-COVID-19.
