| Summary: | The dataset provided with this article describes a targeted lipidomics analysis performed on the serum of COVID-19 patients characterized by different degree of severity. As the ongoing pandemic has posed a challenging threat for humanity, the data here presented belong to one of the first lipidomics studies carried out on COVID-19 patients’ samples collected during the first pandemic waves. Serum samples were obtained from hospitalized patients with a molecular diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection detected after nasal swab, and categorized as mild, moderate, or severe according to pre-established clinical descriptors. The MS-based targeted lipidomic analysis was performed by MRM using a Triple Quad 5500+ mass spectrometer, and the quantitative data were acquired on a panel of 483 lipids. The characterization of this lipidomic dataset has been outlined using multivariate and univariate descriptive statistics and bioinformatics tools.
