最近のコロナウイルス病(COVID-19)アウトブレイクでは、重症化した患者の割合が、併存疾患を持つ高齢者に多く見られた。この観察は、ウイルスが細胞に結合する標的として認識されているアンジオテンシン変換酵素2(ACE2)の細胞内発現を増加させる薬剤の使用と関連しています。この仮説は可能であるが、議論されている他の説明もあるかもしれない。
In the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, a higher proportion of patients with severe disease were found in older persons with comorbidities. This observation has been related to the use of drugs that can increase the cellular expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) that has been recognized as target to which the virus bind to cells. Although this hypothesis is possible, it may also have other explanations which are discussed.
