Aims : To summarise the translational evidence for a pathogenic role of viral infections in chronic lung diseases; to explain the role of viruses as injurious agents in the onset of a variety of pulmonary pathologies (including COVID and other viruses known for their damaging effects on pulmonary health via various possible pathways); to summarise the most recent knowledge regarding viral induction of chronic lung diseases; to discuss the implications of new emerging respiratory viruses for virus epidemiology, pandemic threats and vaccine development; to highlight the contribution of viral infections to the onset of chronic lung diseases; to list the mechanistic pathways of post-viral chronic lung diseases and the factors modulating (post)virus pathogenesis including age; to describe the activation of immune cells in viral-induced chronic lung diseases and potential therapeutic approaches.
Target audience :
Adult pulmonologist/Clinician, Clinical researcher, Medical Student, Respiratory critical care physician, Patient, Scientist (basic, translational)
Methods :
Cell and molecular biology, Physiology, Pulmonary rehabilitation
