COVID-19 symptoms at hospital admission vary with age and sex: results from the ISARIC prospective multinational observational study
Background:
The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships of age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms.
Methods:
International, prospective observational study of 60â109 hospitalized symptomatic patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January and 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate relationships of age and sex to published COVID-19 case definitions and the most commonly reported symptoms.
Results:
âTypicalâ symptoms of fever (69%), cough (68%) and shortness of breath (66%) were the most commonly reported. 92% of patients experienced at least one of these. Prevalence of typical symptoms was greatest in 30- to 60-year-olds (respectively 80, 79, 69%; at least one 95%). They were reported less frequently in children (â€â18 years: 69, 48, 23; 85%), older adults (â„â70 years: 61, 62, 65; 90%), and women (66, 66, 64; 90%; vs. men 71, 70, 67; 93%, each Pâ<â0.001). The most common atypical presentations under 60 years of age were nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, and over 60 years was confusion. Regression models showed significant differences in symptoms with sex, age and country.
Interpretation:
This international collaboration has allowed us to report reliable symptom data from the largest cohort of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Adults over 60 and children admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are less likely to present with typical symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are common atypical presentations under 30 years. Confusion is a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in adults over 60 years. Women are less likely to experience typical symptoms than men

A combination of cyclophosphamide and interleukin-2 allows CD4+ T cells converted to Tregs to control scurfy syndrome
International audienceAbstract Immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is caused by mutations in forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), which lead to the loss of function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the development of autoimmune manifestations early in life. The selective induction of a Treg program in autologous CD4+ T cells by FOXP3 gene transfer is a promising approach for curing IPEX. We have established a novel in vivo assay of Treg functionality, based on adoptive transfer of these cells into scurfy mice (an animal model of IPEX) and a combination of cyclophosphamide (Cy) conditioning and interleukin-2 (IL-2) treatment. This model highlighted the possibility of rescuing scurfy disease after the latterâs onset. By using this in vivo model and an optimized lentiviral vector expressing human Foxp3 and, as a reporter, a truncated form of the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (ÎLNGFR), we demonstrated that the adoptive transfer of FOXP3-transduced scurfy CD4+ T cells enabled the long-term rescue of scurfy autoimmune disease. The efficiency was similar to that seen with wild-type Tregs. After in vivo expansion, the converted CD4FOXP3 cells recapitulated the transcriptomic core signature for Tregs. These findings demonstrate that FOXP3 expression converts CD4+ T cells into functional Tregs capable of controlling severe autoimmune disease
