Estrogen Protection May Explain Differences In Response Between Sexes.(response to endotoxic shock associated with Vibrio vulnificus infection)
2001 NOV 8 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Estrogen may play a role in protecting against endotoxic shock associated with Vibrio vulnificus infection, a finding that may help explain the vast difference between the infection in men and women.
Researchers from the University of North Carolina report these findings in the October 2001 issue of the journal Infection and Immunity.
Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium that can cause endotoxic shock following the consumption of contaminated raw shellfish and is considered one of the most invasive and rapidly fatal human pathogens known, with fatality rates over 60%.
Interestingly most of the cases occur in individuals over the age of 50 and, over the last 10 years, 85% of those who developed endotoxic shock were males.
