In COVID-19 disease, are reported gender differences in relation to severity and death. The aim of this review is to highlight gender differences in the immune response to COVID-19. The included studies were identified using PubMed, until 30 October 2020. The search included the following keywords: SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, gender, age, sex, and immune system. Literature described that females compared to males have greater inflammatory, antiviral, and humoral immune responses. In female, estrogen is a potential ally to alleviate SARS-COV-2 disease. In male, testosterone reduces vaccination response and depresses the cytokine response. In the older patients, and in particular, in female older patients, it has been reported a progressive functional decline in the immune systems. Differences by gender were reported in infection diseases, including SARS-CoV-2. These data should be confirmed by the other epidemiological studies.
在新冠肺炎疾病中,报告了与严重程度和死亡相关的性别差异。本综述的目的是强调对新冠肺炎免疫反应中的性别差异。纳入的研究通过PubMed进行识别,截至2020年10月30日。检索词包括以下关键词:严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2、新冠肺炎、性别、年龄、性别和免疫系统。文献表明,与男性相比,女性具有更强的炎症、抗病毒和体液免疫反应。在女性中,雌激素是缓解严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2疾病的潜在助力。在男性中,睾酮会降低疫苗接种反应并抑制细胞因子反应。在老年患者中,尤其是老年女性患者中,据报道免疫系统存在渐进性功能衰退。在包括严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2在内的感染性疾病中报告了性别差异。这些数据应由其他流行病学研究加以证实。
