COVID-19 Pandemic: Insights into Molecular Mechanisms Leading Sex-based Differences in Patient Outcomes

2020-11-03

Abstract excerpt

Recent epidemiological studies analysing sex disaggregated patient data in COVID-19 across the world revealed a distinct sex bias in the disease morbidity as well as the mortality— both being higher for the men. Similar antecedents have been known for the previous viral infections, including from coronaviruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and middle-east respiratory syndrome (MERS). A sound un...
