The severity of COVID-19 depends on the individual's immune response.
Differences between the immune responses of the lung in children and adults may be the reasons for clinical differences in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.
Impaired immune regulation lead to induction an uncontrolled local and systemic immune response, ineffective inflammation and severe COVID-19 disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
