Snippet: In this study, we observed a higher rate of MERS-CoV incidence and deaths in men than in women. A recent study suggests that there is also a higher incidence of influenza in men than in women, which is due to a higher level of testosterone and a corresponding suppression of their immune response. 9 Thus, a similar relationship may exist with MERS-CoV, and consequently, men with a lower level of testosterone may have improved immunity to viral inf.....
Document: In this study, we observed a higher rate of MERS-CoV incidence and deaths in men than in women. A recent study suggests that there is also a higher incidence of influenza in men than in women, which is due to a higher level of testosterone and a corresponding suppression of their immune response. 9 Thus, a similar relationship may exist with MERS-CoV, and consequently, men with a lower level of testosterone may have improved immunity to viral infection. 9 Another possible explanation for a higher incidence of MERS-CoV among men is that men are likely to spend more time outdoors and thus have a higher risk of exposure to a source of infection.
