The readout was simply infection or not, based on virus titers in lung homogenates at 7 days post-inoculation.
Nevertheless, the observation that the sicker the patient, the more likely he/she was to have endotoxin tolerance, suggests that this test may indeed represent a marker of sepsis rather than simply infection.
In addition to the sample timing, these patients could represent a milder spectrum of the disease with little antibody stimulation or inconspicuous coronavirus RNA level, or simply infection other than coronavirus.
The authors of the trainers' study warned against simply covering infections like herpes and active bacterial lesions in order to return to competition.
There are many potential etiologies of decreased megakaryocytes such as cancer cells which infiltrate into the bone marrow and destroy megakaryocytes, aplastic anemia, toxic chemicals, radiation therapy or chemotherapy, genetic problems hindering the production of normal platelets, exposure to certain drugs or alcohol slowing the production of megakaryocytes, or simply viral infections.
Other individuals within the population could become infected, but these infections were simply tallied and did not contribute to additional direct or indirect transmission events.
By simply measuring infection incidence over time between a control and intervention hospital, these two facilities were able to accurately measure, using over 19,000 admissions with a 95% confidence interval, the impact of the newer hospital's design.
Thus, animals may either develop infection or simply remain passively infected in latency while viral DNA establishes into the animal tissue for the rest of their life.
In many developing countries, people die of treatable infections simply because physicians can't diagnose them fast enough.
The most parsimonious is that the most virulent strain in the mixed infections simply outcompeted the other strains and drove them to extinction within the host.
