Known virulence factors in H5N1 virus include Lys627 of PB2, which increases the viral replication; an Asn66Ser substitution in PB1-F2, a protein that induces apoptosis, enhances inflammation in mice, and predisposes to secondary bacterial infection; NS1, which antagonizes the antiviral effect of interferon; and a multibasic HA cleavage sequence, which allows cleavage by ubiquitous proteases [36] . A higher viral load in respiratory tract samples was associated with fatal disease from H5N1 [41] and with disease severity in infection due to respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus [42] .
