Genes that were involved in the most significantly down-regulated pathways such as Natural Killer Cell Signaling, Crosstalk between Dendritic Cells and Natural Killer Cells, CD28 Signaling in T Helper Cells, PKCθ Signaling in T Lymphocytes.
<p>The pathway names were shared between different groups but the activated genes in each pathway were different. Differentially expressed genes (FDR <0.05, fold change >2) were highlighted in grey.</p
Baseline characteristics of the patients in the study.
<p>Values are presented in median (range); WBC: white blood cell count (normal range: 4–12×10<sup>3</sup>/mm<sup>3</sup>); OFI: other febrile illness; D.O.I: day of illness; HGB: hemoglobin; HCT: hematocrit; PLT: platelet; ND: not done; Neg: negative.</p><p>Baseline characteristics of the patients in the study.</p
Difference in expression of transcripts in T cell and NK cell signaling pathways.
<p>These transcripts were only down-regulated in patients with severe symptoms but not in OFI, mild and moderate disease (*: P≤0.05).</p
Clinical manifestations of the patients in the study.

Interferon signaling pathways was highly up-regulated in moderate and mild influenza patients but was attenuated in patients with severe outcome.
<p>Up-regulated genes were highlighted in grey. IFNGR1 was the only gene that was up-regulated in severe patients while a large number of other genes were up-regulated in moderate and mild patients.</p
