The emergence of viral respiratory pathogens with pandemic potential, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the pathogenic agent of Covid-19, represent a serious health problem worldwide. Respiratory viral infections are, in general, associated with cytokine production, inflammation, cell death, and other pathophysiological processes, which could be link with a redox imbalance or oxidative stress. These phenomena are substantially increased during aging. Actually, severity and mortality risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection or Covid-19 disease have been associated with the age. The aim of the present work was to contribute with the understanding of the possible link between oxidative stress and the pathogenesis, severity and mortality risk in patients affected by SARS-CoV infection.
具有大流行潜力的病毒呼吸道病原体的出现,如严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒(SARS-CoV),是全球严重的健康问题。一般来说,呼吸道病毒感染与细胞因子产生、炎症、细胞死亡和其他病理生理过程有关,这些过程可能与氧化还原失衡或氧化应激有关。这些现象在衰老过程中会显著增加。实际上,SARS-CoV-2 感染或新冠病毒疾病的严重程度和死亡风险与年龄有关。本研究旨在探讨氧化应激与 SARS-CoV 感染患者发病机制、严重程度和死亡风险之间可能存在的联系。
