Seasonal influenzaCardiovascular diseaseIn adults requiring hospitalization due to COVID-19 or seasonal influenza, cardiovascular risk factors and signs of myocardial distress differ significantly. Furthermore, cardiovascular comorbidities may impair prognosis in COVID-19 patients to a higher degree than in ...
The propensity score used for the weighting was calculated via a logistic regression model predicting COVID-19 versus influenza. The model included 55 prehospitalization covariates, including major variables known to increase the risk for mortality, such as hypertension medications, history of congestive...

specifically when looking into protection against severe disease. For example, studies in the context of influenza infection indicate the importance of T cell-mediated immunity as a correlate of protection in vulnerable populations, such as those >60 years ...
Male individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 had coordinately higher innate, influenza-specific plasmablast, and antibody responses after vaccination compared with healthy male individuals and female individuals who had recovered from COVID-19, in part because male recoverees had monocytes with ...
On presentation to the ED, he developed progressive shortness of breath requiring intubation. Chest X-ray was negative other than an incidental finding of bibasilar lung infiltrates versus atelectasis. Testing for influenza A and B wa...
CXCL10 signaling appears to be a critical factor for the onset of ARDS, as shown in mice models of ARDS induced by either acid aspiration or by viral infection (with influenza H5N1 virus). Briefly, Ichikawa et al., demonstrated that wild-type mice developing ARDS had increased levels of ...
However, the latter is an illness associated with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea; bacteria and viruses can cause stomach flu but not the influenza viruses. It is a stomach illness, whereas influenza virus infection causes the flu, an illness of the respiratory system. What Causes Flu in Adults...
the collective knowledge gained from the COVID-19 pandemic serves as a methodological construct for better understanding of and responding to similar communicable diseases with heavy pediatric disease burdens, such as influenza and mycoplasma pneumonia, as well as existing and emerging pathogens with pand...
The aberrant situation is known as cytokine storm that damages tissues by destroying the protective lining of blood vessels, a possible main reason for ARDS in patients [42]. Other viruses, such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, influenza virus, enterovirus A71, and Ebola, were also reported to induce...
