Males are disproportionately affected by severe disease and death from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In their recent article, Takahashi et al. found sex differences in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and the predictors of disease progression. These findings contribute to elucidating the mechanisms that underlie the male bias in severe disease and death from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
男性在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 感染导致的严重疾病和死亡中受到不成比例的影响。在他们最近的文章中，高桥等人发现了 SARS-CoV-2 免疫反应中的性别差异以及疾病进展的预测因素。这些发现有助于阐明导致 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 中男性严重疾病和死亡的偏倚的机制。
