| Core Tip |
Obesity influences the development and outcome of various respiratory infections. This is mediated in various ways, including through direct physiological impacts on the lungs and airways and via the dysfunctional adipose tissue, inducing a low-grade inflammatory status that potentially affects the immune response to certain pathogens. These include, notably, influenza and coronavirus disease 2019. Clinicians should be aware of these unique challenges in this subset of patients and take preventive and aggressive therapeutic measures as needed. |
