The Physiological Mechanisms of the Sex-Based Difference in Outcomes of COVID19 Infection

9 Feb 2021

Abstract excerpt

The scale of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has thrust a spotlight on the sex-based differences in response to viral diseases; morbidity and mortality are greater in men than women. We outline the mechanisms by which being female offers a degree of protection from COVID19, that persists even when confounders such as comorbidities are considered. The physiological and immunological mechanisms are fascinating and range...
