     Evaluation Summary:

     Severe COVID-19 is characterised by a high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and an underlying state of oxidative stress in blood has also been hypothesized. In the study presented here for the first time provide evidence that hydrogen peroxide generated by the neutrophil specific enzyme myeloperoxidase is not only accumulated in plasma but also perpetrates structural damage to the strong and weak lipid binding sites on albumin, a key antioxidant in blood plasma, using SLFAs and EPR spectroscopy. This study is timely and relevant in deciding treatment of severe COVID-19 patients with human serum albumin and possibly supplementation of FDA approved antioxidants like glutathione. The main strengths of the manuscript are the novelty. The main weak point is the need to study more patients.
