By analyzing 29 cytokines and chemokines and the hemagglutination inhibition activity, Bermejo-Martin and colleagues [1] assessed the early host innate and adaptive immune responses in patients both mildly and severely infected with nvH1N1. The great majority of infections caused by the pandemic variant of the infl uenza virus (nvH1N1) are self-limited, but a small percentage of patients develop severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. This is the fi rst work reporting the association of a pro-infl amatory immune response with a severe pandemic infection, although it is likely that more studies are needed to understand the detrimental or benefi cial roles these cytokines play in the evolution of mild and severe nvH1N1 infection. ./cache/cord-255216-87ursh0s.txt ./txt/cord-255216-87ursh0s.txt
