Cytomegalovirus and human immunosenescence

26 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

'Immunosenescence' is an imprecise term used to describe deleterious age-associated changes to immune parameters observed in all mammals studied so far. Primarily anecdotal evidence implies that failing immunity is responsible for the increased incidence and severity of infectious disease in old people. However, there is a serious dearth of accurate hard data concerning the actual cause of death in the elderly...
