Is COVID-19 Gender-sensitive?

Journal of neuroimmune pharmacology : the official journal of the Society on NeuroImmune Pharmacology - 1 Mar 2021

Mukherjee Shreya, Pahan Kalipada

Abstract excerpt

While clinical characteristics exhibit that susceptibility to COVID-19 infection is equally likely between males and females, clinical outcomes show that males experience both a higher severity and fatality for COVID-19 infection than females. This review examines the evidence for these sex and gender differences and aims to illustrate possible mechanisms behind such sensitivity. Successful entry of SARS-CoV-2...
