Sex-related susceptibility in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): Proposed mechanisms.

European journal of pharmacology - 5 Dec 2021

Aksoyalp Zinnet Şevval, Nemutlu-Samur Dilara

Abstract excerpt

The importance of sex differences is increasingly acknowledged in the incidence and treatment of disease. Accumulating clinical evidence demonstrates that sex differences are noticeable in COVID-19, and the prevalence, severity, and mortality rate of COVID-19 are higher among males than females. Sex-related genetic and hormonal factors and immunological responses may underlie the sex bias in COVID-19 patients....
