Men, for social or cultural reasons, may have been more likely to be exposed to the virus at the beginning of the outbreak Dr Li Zhang, at the hospital, says:"The reduced susceptibility of females to viral infections could be attributed to the protection from X chromosome and sex hormones, which play an important role in immunity."Most of the 99 had other diseases that may have made them more vulnerable to the virus as a"result of the weaker immune functions of these patients":
40 had a weak heart or damaged blood vessels due to conditions including heart disease, heart failure and stroke
