Endothelial activation and dysfunction caused by influenza A virus (<i>Alphainfluenzavirus influenzae</i>) by Vladimir A. Marchenko, Irina N. Zhilinskaya

“…Severe forms of influenza are usually characterized by vascular endothelial cells damage. Thus, influenza A viruses, including subtypes A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), as well as highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses, can infect the vascular endothelium, leading to activation and subsequent dysfunction of these cells. …”
