ABSTRACT
Background:
On March 2020, WHO declares the world pandemic by CoViD-19. In this report we report the CoViD-19 infection, related to male gender, comorbidity and special population.Methods:
We describe the published studies by PubMed, Medscape and Scopus between December 2019 to May 2020. Keywords used male/man gender, sex differences, CoViD-19, comorbidity, diabetes, hypertension, elderly, pregnancy, children.Results:
The elderly population and infants are a population at higher risk. The comorbidities are risk factors for the development of a more severe form of disease. There may be a sex predisposition to CoViD-19 infection, with men more prone to be affected. 83.9% of CoViD-19 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 57.3% of CoViD-19 patients with liver diseases, have a severe disease.Conclusions:
Older age, infants, male gender and comorbidity describe a crucial role for severity of CoViD-19 disease. Future studies are need for the management of these patients.
