Disrupted cytokine and chemokine expression, especially IFNs and TNF, and decreased antiviral activity of innate immune response mediators, such as protein kinase resource and retinoic acid-inducible gene product I (RIG-I), directly lead to increased virulence of the virus (Haye K, et al., 2009; Jackson D, et al., 2008; Lipatov A S, et al., 2005; Munir M, et al., 2011) . Thus, patients with H5N1 disease typically present with a hyper-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome and a higher and a more prolonged viral load in respiratory specimens than other seasonal influenza virus like human H1N1 viruses (Chan M C, et al., 2005; Kuiken T, et al., 2010; Lee D C, et al., 2012; Peiris J S, et al., 2010; Sandbulte M R, et al., 2008) . ./cache/cord-322166-ajolu2rh.txt ./txt/cord-322166-ajolu2rh.txt
