Influenza Virus Infection Induces Platelet-Endothelial Adhesion Which Contributes to Lung Injury
5 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Lung injury after influenza infection is characterized by increased permeability of the lung microvasculature, culminating in acute respiratory failure. Platelets interact with activated endothelial cells and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of some forms of acute lung injury. Autopsy studies have revealed pulmonary microthrombi after influenza infection, and epidemiological studies suggest that influenza...
