Article Synopsis
- Influenza virus infection can lead to severe outcomes like respiratory failure and death, but the mechanisms behind these effects are not well understood.
- A study was conducted on hospitalized patients during the 2017/18 and 2018/19 flu seasons, measuring immune markers and other relevant factors to assess their impact on disease progression.
- Findings revealed that patients with poor outcomes had lower levels of Apolipoprotein-H and higher levels of inflammatory markers, indicating that a dysregulated immune response contributes to worse prognoses in influenza cases.
Background: Influenza viruses cause seasonal epidemics worldwide with a significant morbimortality burden. Clinical spectrum of Influenza is wide, being respiratory failure (RF) one of its most severe complications. This study aims to elaborate a clinical prediction rule of RF in hospitalized Influenza patients.
