To assess the effect of genetic background on the severity of IAV and SARS disease, we measured the daily body weights of the mice from time of infection to time of kill.
These included risk factor for HIV infection, length of time on therapy, and number of antiretroviral drugs.
The level of underreporting was around 27%.The causes of underreporting were perception of low risk of infection, lack of time and fear of consequences.
The reasons for not reporting the injury were: perception of low risk of infection, lack of time, fear of consequences, too much paper to fill or reporting purposes.
However, for a given level of drug resistance, if prevalence of infection at time of treatment rises, clearance of the existing infection will increase in importance in relation to prophylaxis.
Among these are: the method of infection, the time of infection, the virus load, and the time of harvest.
The influence of treatment and vaccination efforts on the spread of infection in presence of time delays are studied.
However, data on the stage of infection at time of diagnosis is difficult to collect and this could simply represent inaccuracy in the data.
Suspicion of infection at time of intubation based on clinical status and imaging/laboratory results also differed significantly, although C-reactive protein did not.
To this end, we introduce three approximate measures of viral infection severity: time of viral load peak, approximate duration of symptomatic infection, and total amount of virus.
